Dr. Julia Reinold is a postdoctoral researcher at Erasmus University Rotterdam. As part of the Horizon Europe Project Link4Skills, she is responsible for the design, implementation and analysis of an online survey among high- and medium-skilled migrants in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland and Austria. The aim of the survey is to investigate migrants' intentions to remain living in the country of destination or return to the country of origin. Findings will inform approaches to address global skills shortages, for example through Migration Skill Corridors, and be incorporated in an AI-Assisted Skill Navigator to facilitate fair skill flows between migrants' countries of origin and destination. Besides that, she is also affiliated to Maastricht University's Institute for Transnational and Euregional cross-border cooperation and Mobility (ITEM), where she contributes to different research projects in the field of migration and cross-border mobility and cooperation. Prior to starting the current position, she was a postdoctoral researcher at Studio Europa Maastricht/ Maastricht University, where she focused on the influence of migration and non-migration policies on high-skilled migrants' decision-making processes. During that time, she was also part of the Executive Board of the Maastricht Centre for Citizenship, Migration and Development. For her PhD with the United Nations University – Maastricht Economic and Social Research Institute on Innovation and Technology (UNU-MERIT) and ITEM, Julia examined the motivations of highly educated migrants to move to and remain in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine. Before starting her PhD, she worked as a research officer for UNU-MERIT’s Migration Group. In this position, Julia contributed to various research projects commissioned by European Union institutions, as well as international and development organisations.

Description
Attracting and retaining migrants can have many benefits for the host country and its economy, for example to mitigate skills shortages. Regulating immigration may prevent several negative consequences of a shrinking and ageing population. However, research and policy often focus on the highly skilled or so-called knowledge migrants (kennismigranten) as a source of human capital, which can increase innovation and a country’s competitiveness. A group of labour migrants that receives significantly less attention from research and policy, are the medium-skilled migrant workers. Although it makes up a significant share of the migrant population, this group is rarely supported by specific migration policies. Therefore, in this report we would like to answer the following central research question: What is known in available literature about the opportunities and limitations of filling labour shortages through labour migration, especially in the middle segment of the labour market? CONTENT: 1. Introduction, 2. Methodology, 3. Shortages and skill requirements in the middle segment of the Dutch labour market, 4. Priority supply from EEA+ countries and beyond, 5. Migration as a solution to address shortages in the middle segment of the Dutch labour market, 6. Alternative solutions to staffing bottlenecks in the middle segment of the Dutch labour market, 7. Conclusions and directions for further research.
