Project objective

The project extends an existing Human Capital and Mobility research award that looks at the integration of Third World migrants into Iberian labour markets from the perspective of the workers themselves. From interviews with immigrant workers, it has become clear that a primary reason for differences in their involvement across economic sectors, as well as by sex and nationality, arise from the attitudes of employers toward hiring immigrants. This project is designed to complement the existing research programme, by examining the reasons why employers hire and retain specific workers, with particular regard to expectations about the relative merits of immigrants and EU nationals, as well as differences by sex, formal qualifications and nationality amongst immigrants. Focusing on Girona in Spain and Algarve in Portugal, the study will examine differences within and across economic sectors. It will consider how employers obtain their immigrant workers, as well as the work practices of immigrants.
