Maximizing potential: How countries can address skills deficits within the immigrant workforce (2013)

 

Benton M. (2013), Maximizing potential: How countries can address skills deficits within the immigrant workforce, Migration Policy Institute, Washington DC.

Research report reviewing policy and practice around labour market integration across countries.
"Migrants have more complex skills needs than local workers, because of their need for country-specific skills in particular, and because they are more likely to have a unique learner profile (e.g., high educational attainment, but with the need for basic language skills)."
