Low-skilled migration

Low-skilled migration is the movement of persons holding jobs that do not necessarily require a high level of education or extensive experience. In some cases, public policy frameworks use salary levels to define low-skilled migration. Research in this category includes studies on low-skilled migration in various economic sectors such as healthcare, construction, agriculture, the sex industry and domestic work.

Migration of Low Skilled Workers from India to the European Union

Authors S.K. SASIKUMAR, Rakkee THIMOTHY
Description
This study explores factors that initiate and perpetuate low skill labour migration from India to the EU, examines the migration processes and evaluates the policy prescriptions available to manage such migration flows. Based on a survey of the available quantitative and qualitative evidence, our study points to the existence of a fairly stable and persistent demand for low skilled labour in the EU, at least in the medium term. As this demand cannot be fully met from within the EU, there is and will remain a strong demand for low skilled migrant workers from non-EU countries. This offers immense scope for traditional labour sending countries like India as well as destination countries in the EU to strengthen the migration–development nexus. Unfortunately, on both sides, there seems to be an absence of a coherent and focused policy for governing migration of low skilled workers. Considering that migration of low skilled workers from India is mainly directed to the Persian Gulf, the study also makes a comparison between the existing immigration policies in EU countries and the Persian Gulf in order to draw relevant policy perspectives. Evolving appropriate policy response in relation to low skilled migration to Europe is also necessary given that a significant share of such workers end up as irregular migrants in transit or at the destination.

Demography, migration, and the labour market in Bahrain

Authors Françoise DE BEL-AIR
Description
Mid-2013, estimates of Bahrain s population stood at 1,253,191 persons, of whom 638,361 (51 per cent) were foreign nationals. Most were from Asia (85 per cent) and especially from India (half of all foreign residents). Eighty per cent of expatriates are employed. They account for 77 per cent of the employed population and 81 per cent of the private sector s workforce. Asians are overwhelmingly involved in services and blue collar occupations, while Arabs more often fill managerial posts. Immigration flows to the Kingdom increased significantly over the 2000s, fuelled by high oil prices and the ensuing boom in the construction and services sectors. This demonstrates the difficulty to reconcile labour reforms, and especially, the Bahrainisation of the work force, with the maximisation of economic productivity.

Menneskehandel i arbeidslivet

Authors Anette Brunovskis, Anne Mette Ødegård
Description
Mange forbinder menneskehandel, eller «trafficking», med seksuell utnytting og prostitusjon. Det er mindre kunnskap om menneskehandel i arbeidslivet, som først og fremst rammer utenlandske arbeidstakere. Kombinasjonen av liten risiko for å bli oppdaget, lave straffer og stor profitt gjør at arbeidsmarkedet utnyttes av kriminelle aktører. Sakene som har nådd rettsapparatet har dreid seg om utnytting i butikk, gartneri, restaurant, renhold og steinlegging. I denne rapporten ser vi på praktiske erfaringer og utfordringer i arbeidet mot menneskehandel på tre sentrale områder: avdekking, bistand til ofre og etterforskning og straffeforfølgelse. Stor usikkerhet og mangel på kunnskap kan føre til at færre saker blir avdekket og etterforsket. Rapporten er laget på oppdrag fra Oslo kommune og er finansiert av KS ved Program for storbyrettet forskning.
