Satisfying labour demand through migration

This Synthesis Report from the European Migration Network summarises the main findings of the National Reports for the EMN Study on Satisfying Labour Demand through Migration undertaken by EMN National Contact Points from 23 Member States (Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Slovak Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, United Kingdom).

The overall purpose of this study was to identify those sectors experiencing shortages in the Member States, to outline the national strategies for addressing labour market needs with third-country national migrant workers and to gain an understanding of the perceived effectiveness of these strategies, including examining the impact of the recent economic downturn and recovery on them. The study covers the period from 2004 up to end of 2010 with statistics provided up to the end of 2009.

The Synthesis Report (PDF 115pp) is here whilst the National Reports upon which the synthesis is based, are available from http://www.emn.europa.eu under “EMN Studies”.
Several of the National Reports are available in the Member States’ national language, as well as in English.
[So said the press release but either I’m being thick or … but I could not find the National Reports]
