The global financial crisis is already having a marked impact on the scope and pace of international migration. Many countries have tightened their rules and procedures, seeking to protect jobs at home as unemployment has risen sharply. Confidence in established institutions, including governments and banks, has sunk rapidly. Governments, businesses, and individuals have all felt the damaging consequences.
The crisis is also driving policymakers to rethink their assumptions about labor migration, as it becomes clear that the recession may profoundly alter the economic and social landscape in the long term, especially for the relatively wealthy nations of North America and Europe. This book examines the complex and contradictory challenges to immigration policy that governments face in the short term and midterm. In collaboration with the Migration Policy Institute

The recession, hailed as the worst since the Great Depression, is impacting the scope and pace of international migration and its effects could deepen should the world economy worsen.Governments, businesses and individuals have all felt the damaging consequences of the global downturn, which has shaken confidence in established institutions. The crisis is driving some policymakers and analysts in Europe and North America to re-think their assumptions about labor migration. Yet while policymakers face exceptionally strong popular and political outcry to protect jobs at home, they face mid-term demographic challenges. These two opposing policy pressures require responses that will not only help ease the current economic crisis, but will also secure the long-term prosperity of these regions.This book reflects the effort of the Transatlantic Council on Migration to map how profound demographic change is likely to affect the size and character of global migration flows; and how governments can shape immigration policy in a world increasingly attuned to the hunt for talent. This volume is the second major product of the Council. The Council was launched in 2008 as a new initiative of the Migration Policy Institute (MPI) in Washington, DC. The Bertelsmann Stiftung and the European Policy Centre are the Council's policy partners.<. Seller Inventory # INF1000097077
