Immigrant Ethnic Minorities in the Dutch Labour Market
Will immigration lead to the development of lasting and persistent ethnic minorities in the Netherlands or will there eventually be integration? This is one of the central questions of this book and the reader will discover that the answer depends on a number of factors. One of these factors is of course the future of the Dutch economy in its Western European context. The opportunities given to the individual members of immigrant ethnic minorities are another. A number of Dutch experts associated with prominent Dutch academic institutions and organizations in this field were asked to comment on the position of immigrant ethnic minorities on the Dutch labour market. Their contributions comprise general background information as well as more in-depth analyses of specific topics, including labour market policies.
Integrating Immigrants in the Netherlands
This title was first published in 2003. Using a behaviourist and quantitative approach, this study examines the vexed questions surrounding the economic and cultural integration of immigrants into the Netherlands. The authors use the Dutch case as a specific example of a wider European problem. The book examines the two opposing theoretical and political points of view on integration, whether immigrants need to adapt to the dominant culture before they are able to fully participate in socio-economic life, or whether as they participate in socio-economic life they will gradually adapt to the dominant culture. Based primarily on quantitative research, the authors unravel the complex interrelationship between cultural and socio-economic integration. They explore some of the barriers to entry into Dutch society and discuss questions of ethnic identification, parenting, educational achievement and the labour market. Since contextual factors clearly affect integration, the study also looks at the effects of migrant policies and immigration policies in different West European countries and examines social distance from immigrant groups by the native Dutch population.
Migrants, Ethnic Minorities and the Labour Market
This book examines racial and ethnic discrimination in the labour markets and workplaces of western Europe. Scholars from ten different countries set out the experience and implications of this exclusion for two main groups: the more established second and third generations of postwar migrant descent, and the 'new' migrants, including seasonal and undocumented workers and refugees, who are vulnerable to extreme exploitation and unregulated working environments. The book finishes by addressing the implications of these issues for trade unions and employers in Europe.
