Description: "This collection explores the phenomenon of Asian immigration in Europe and particularly the ways in which Asian immigrants gain access to local labour markets, including analyses of the factors fostering and sustaining integration. The book includes studies of nine European countries, including Germany, France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom, shedding light on the labour market positions of different ethnic groups within Europe with a focus on immigrant entrepreneurship and economic strategies. In the analysis, socio-cultural, economic, institutional and policy aspects are taken into account."

"Asian Migrants and European Labour Markets will interest scholars in the field of labour economics, population and migration studies, geography and international business."--Jacket.
