By: Papademetriou, Demetrios G. (ed.).
Material type: materialTypeLabelBookPublisher: Washington, DC, Migration Policy Institute, 2006Description: 276 pages.ISBN: 0-9742819-4-8.Subject(s): immigration | citizenship | integration | demographic change | welfare state | immigration policy | Europe | Southern Europe | USAOnline resources: Full-text Summary: European policymakers are attempting to develop immigration policies that meet economic needs and promote greater competitiveness and growth —without undermining the social models so valued by their electorates. To succeed, they must take into account aging populations, high and persistent levels of overall unemployment, even higher levels of unemployment among immigrants and ethnic minorities, and sector- and location-specific labor mismatches and shortfalls. In this volume, the Migration Policy Institute has gathered some of the leading European thinkers to offer insightful counsel and, wherever possible, solutions to Europe’s immigration challenges. The book’s contributors piece together the puzzle of a well-managed, comprehensive immigration regime, tackling issues ranging from immigration’s economic costs and benefits, to effective selection systems, citizenship, the welfare state, and integration policies that work.
