Description:
In this session we look at issues of labour market segmentation and
discrimination and link them to the migration process in different host
societies. Our goal is to understand how labour market constraints act
upon minorities from a range of statuses in both Europe and North America.
The goals of this workshop are three fold:
1. first to examine
patterns of labour market segmentation,
2. second, to develop an
understanding of the degree to which constraints are faced by temporary
workers (pre-immigrants), immigrants and minorities born in the host
country and;
3. third to look at the policy mechanisms in existence in
these countries to counteract such barriers.
