Abstract

"This paper summarises the findings of recent research on the effects of migration on the Austrian labour market and draws attention to the fact that migratory movements have had a distinct regional dimension in the past. In our analysis of the mobility behaviour of foreign residents we find that existing networks of foreigners of the same nationality are the most powerful predictors of both new migration and net migration from abroad to a particular region. Internal mobility, however, is less closely correlated to the existing networks. This suggests that improved integration of foreign workers into the Austrian labour market may be the most effective measure, if a more even spread of migrants across the territory is desired."
