Research Handbook on Migration and Employment
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-83910-723-8 (ISBN)
Guglielmo Meardi enhances often fragmented migration and employment research by bringing together a range of multidisciplinary authors including demographers, geographers, economists, sociologists, political scientists and labour lawyers across the Global South and North. Contributing authors explore labour market trends, discuss regional and sectoral perspectives, and analyse the most important actors, politics and regulations in the field of migration and employment. Chapters cover key issues such as supply and demand, diversity management, trade unions and migrant workers in the care sector.
Providing statistical analysis, literature reviews, conceptual theory and practical policy, this book is a vital resource for students, researchers and academics specialising in migration, labour studies, development studies, politics and public and social policy, and sociology. It is also beneficial to policymakers and think tank professionals focusing on the international mobility of workers.
