Employment support services and migrant integration in the UK labour market

In: HWWI Policy Paper ... by the HWWI Research Programme Migration Research Group 3-7

Abstract

Aim of this paper is to review the existing evidence on the support structures available to migrants and refugees in the UK labour market. It follows another expert report providing a comprehensive description of the legislation regulating the access to the labour market and entitlement to public services for the different categories of migrants in the UK. Far from being an attempt to assess the success and failures of the existing framework, the paper will try to provide a critical overview of the evidence available from policy documents, commissioned evaluations, databases for monitoring users' access and academic publications.
