Description: "This book brings together in-depth analyses of migration issues in major European countries, and compares evidence with more countries that have traditionally seen the most immigration. First, it studies migration streams since World War II, and reviews major migration policy regimes. Second, it summarizes the empirical evidence measuring wages, unemployment, and occupational choices. Third, it investigates how migrants affect the labour markets of their host countries, and evaluates econometric studies into the wage and employment consequences of immigration." "This important work is an invaluable resource for academic labour economists, geographers, and sociologists, as well as policy makers concerned with immigration."--Jacket.
Notes: "Preliminary versions of many of these papers were presented at the CEPR conference 'European migration: what do we know?' held in Munich on November 14-15th 1997"--Acknowledgements.
