Arbeidsimmigratie in internationaal vergelijkend perspectief

Samenvatting

Titel in inhoudsoppgave: Arbeidsmigratie in internationaal vergelijkend perspectief. Labor Migration in International Perspective. This chapter compares regulations relating to the immigration and settlement of foreign workers in the Netherlands, Germany, and the UK. From this comparison it becomes clear that all these countries are reluctant to allow the settlement of low-skilled workers, but generally applaud the arrival of highly skilled migrants. The marked exception to this rule appears to be the Dutch government, which tries to dissuade those migrants too from permanent settlement. Some hypotheses are offered for these different approaches, and for the Dutch inability to compete for highly skilled labor on the increasingly global labor market. We conclude that Dutch policy making is based on ill-informed assumptions, and disregards the realities of the globalization process. 2 Figures, 45 References. Adapted from the source document.
