Norway is characterised by very high levels of migration from within the European Economic Area (EEA) and growing but small scale labour migration from countries outside the EEA. In this context, the challenge for managing discretionary labour migration is to ensure it complements EEA flows. High-skilled workers who come to Norway often leave, even if their employer would like to keep them. Norway has many international students, but most appear to leave at graduation or in the years that follow. The spouses of skilled migrants – usually educated and talented themselves – face challenges in finding employment, and this may cause the whole family to leave. Key industries in smaller population centres wonder how they will source talent in the future. This review examines these aspects of the Norwegian labour migration system. It considers the efficiency of procedures and whether the system is capable of meeting demand. It looks at several policy measures that were implemented and withdrawn, and assesses how these and other mechanisms could be better applied. The characteristics and behaviour of past labour migrants is examined to suggest means of encouraging promising immigrants to remain, and how Norway might attract the specific labour migrants from which it can most benefit in the future.

Mit dem demographischen Wandel steigt aktuell der Anteil von Personen mit einem sogenannten Migrationshintergrund in den nachwachsenden Generationen. Folglich nehmen auch die Ansprache neuer Zielgruppen als reguläre Weiterbildungsteilnehmende und deren Zugangsmöglichkeiten zu Weiterbildungseinrichtungen weiter an Bedeutung zu. Alisha M.B. Heinemann untersucht Perspektiven und Weiterbildungsteilnahmegründe der heterogenen Gruppe von deutschen Frauen mit einem sogenannten Migrationshintergrund. Die differenzierte rassismuskritische Analyse öffnet neue Zugänge und Perspektiven in der Erwachsenenbildungsforschung und präsentiert Hintergrundwissen für die Weiterbildungspraxis. »Heinemann legt damit nicht nur eine Untersuchung vor, die durch ihre ungewöhnliche theoretische Kombination beeindruckt, sondern sich durch ihre kritischen, couragierten Forderungen sowohl an das Feld der Erwachsenenbildung/Weiterbildung als auch an alle Leser/-innen auszeichnet.« Kira Nierobisch, Erwachsenbildung, 4 (2015) »Die interessante, gut lesbare und empirisch aufschlussreiche Publikation kann nicht nur LeserInnen aus dem Theorie- und Praxisfeld der Weiterbildung empfohlen werden. Viele der Erkenntnisse berühren grundsätzliche Fragen (etwa über Zugehörigkeitsordnungen und Diskriminierung), die ebenso in der Sozialpädagogik, im Schulwesen und darüber hinaus von allgemeinpädagogischer Relevanz sind.« Annette Sprung, Erziehungswissenschaftliche Revue, 14/5 (2015) »Nicht nur in Bezug auf die Weiterentwicklung der Forschungslandschaft in der Erwachsenenbildung sondern auch auf das Verständnis der Lebenswelten von deutschen Frauen mit sogenanntem Migrationshintergrund bietet das vorliegende Buch einen klar strukturierten und umfassenden Einblick, der sowohl für Professionelle als auch für andere Interessentinnen und Interessenten geeignet ist.« Regina Ehrismann/Beate Aschenbrenner-Wellmann, www.socialnet.de, 14.01.2015 Besprochen in: Swiss Migration News, 22.01.2015

Among the many challenges that global liberalization has posed for trade unions, the growth of precarious immigrant workforces lacking any collective representation stands out as both a major threat to solidarity and an organizing opportunity. Believing that collective action is critical in the struggle to lift the low wages and working conditions of immigrant workers, the contributors to Mobilizing against Inequality set out to study union strategies toward immigrant workers in four countries: Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and United States. Their research revealed both formidable challenges and inspiring examples of immigrant mobilization that often took shape as innovative social counter movements. Using case studies from a carwash organizing campaign in the United States, a sans papiers movement in France, Justice for Cleaners in the United Kingdom, and integration approaches by the Metalworkers Union in Germany, among others, the authors look at the strategies of unions toward immigrants from a comparative perspective. Although organizers face a different set of obstacles in each country, this book points to common strategies that offer promise for a more dynamic model of unionism is the global North. The editors have also created a companion website for the book, which features literature reviews, full case studies, updates, and links to related publications.

"Despite the fact that many countries target highly skilled migrants for recruitment in the global labour market, few of those migrants are able to take full advantage of their educational and professional qualifications in their new homes. Work in Transition examines this paradox, using extended narrative interviews that focus on the role that cultural capital plays in the labour market. Comparing the migrant experience in Germany, Canada, and Turkey, Work in Transition shows how migrants develop their cultural capital in order to enter the workforce, as well as how failure to leverage that capital can lead to permanent exclusion from professional positions. Exposing the mechanisms that drive inclusion and exclusion for migrants from a transatlantic comparative perspective, this book provides a unique analytical approach to an increasingly important global issue."--

Liberating Temporariness? explores the complex ways in which temporariness is being institutionalized as a condition of life for a growing number of people worldwide. The collection emphasizes contemporary developments, but also provides historical context on nation-state membership as the fundamental means for accessing rights in an era of expanding temporariness - in recognition of why pathways to permanence remain so compelling. Through empirical and theoretical analysis, contributors explore various dimensions of temporariness, especially as it relates to the legal status of migrants and refugees, to the spread of precarious employment, and to limitations on social rights. While the focus is on Canada, a number of chapters investigate and contrast developments in Canada with those in Europe as well as Australia and the United States. Together, these essays reveal changing and enduring temporariness at local, regional, national, transnational, and global levels, and in different domains, such as health care, language programs, and security. The question at the heart of this collection is whether temporariness can be liberated from current constraints. While not denying the desirability of permanence for migrants and labourers, Liberating Temporariness? presents alternative possibilities of security and liberation.
