Press Release 18 November 2014
Many
immigrants in Europe struggling to move out of low-skilled jobs;
European governments have opportunities to prioritize policies to secure
upward mobility
WASHINGTON
and GENEVA — Against a backdrop of aging populations and persistently
low economic growth, few European governments are doing enough to help
recent immigrants move from low-skilled precarious jobs and into decent
work, says a new report by the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) and
International Labour Organization (ILO).
The
report, Aiming Higher: Policies to Get Immigrants into Middle-Skilled
Work in Europe, shows that while some countries have made sizeable
investments in labour market integration policies over the past decade,
they have focused primarily on getting immigrants into work. As a
result, these policies have struggled to facilitate career progression
over time.
