Immigrant Entrepreneurs: Venturing Abroad in the Age of Globalization

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Immigrant entrepreneurship increased dramatically in the 1990s and has had a huge impact on urban life. In spite of this, we rarely consider what role migrants play in their adopted country, and what effect they have on the global economic climate. This book explores the impact of immigrant business through in-depth case studies from the United States, Canada, Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Australia, and South Africa. Is it the institutional structure of each country that attracts immigrant entrepreneurs? What role do welfare systems play? In what ways do immigrants use their own resources, make use of existing ones, and create new ones? Sophisticated in its analysis and innovative in its approach,this timely book is a benchmark publication. It provides a much-needed overview of this previously neglected social phenomenon.

Georges Vernez
Immigrant Women in the U.S. Workforce

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book represents a first effort to systematically describe the experience of immigrant women in the U.S. labor market over the past thirty years. It may come as a surprise that the United States is currently home to more immigrant women than immigrant men. However, until this study was conducted, the attention of analysts and policymakers has focused solely on the labor performance of immigrant men. Georges Vernez`s analysis of immigrant women`s experience is the first to break this trend, revealing a complex story that resists easy interpretation. Some immigrant women succeed beyond all expectations, while others struggle all their lives and have little to show for it. In examining the myriad factors that contribute to the success and failure of immigrant women in the U.S. workforce, this book provides a profile of their changing origin and characteristics, describes what they do, where they work, and how they fare in the U.S. labor market, and looks at the use they make of… [detailed...]

Immigrants And The Industries Of London, 1500-1700

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Immigration is not only a modern-day debate. Major change in Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries led to a surge of political and religious refugees moving across the continent. Estimates suggest that from 1550 to 1585 around 50,000 Dutch and Walloons from the southern Netherlands settled in England, and in the late seventeenth century 50,000 Huguenots from France followed suit. The majority gravitated towards London which, already a magnet for merchants and artisans across the centuries, began a process of major transformation. New skills, capital, technical know-how and social networks came with these migrants and helped to spark London`s cosmopolitan flair and diversity. But the early experience of many of these immigrants in London was one of hostility, serving to slow down the adoption and expansion of new crafts and technologies. Immigrants and the Industries of London, 1500-1700 examines the origins and the changing face and shape of many trades, crafts… [detailed...]

Immanuel Ness
Immigrants, Unions, And The New U.s. Labor Market

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In recent years, New Yorkers have been surprised to see workers they had taken for granted?Mexicans in greengroceries, West African supermarket deliverymen and South Asian limousine drivers?striking, picketing, and seeking support for better working conditions. Suddenly, businesses in New York and the nation had changed and were now dependent upon low-paid immigrants to fill the entry-level jobs that few native-born Americans would take. Immigrants, Unions, and the New U.S. Labor Market tells the story of these workers` struggle for living wages, humane working conditions, and the respect due to all people. It describes how they found the courage to organize labor actions at a time when most laborers have become quiescent and while most labor unions were ignoring them. Showing how unions can learn from the example of these laborers, and demonstrating the importance of solidarity beyond the workplace, Immanuel Ness offers a telling look into the lives of some of America`s… [detailed...]

Immigrants: Your Country Needs Them

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Immigration divides our globalizing world like no other issue. We are swamped by illegal immigrants and infiltrated by terrorists, our jobs stolen, our welfare system abused, our way of life destroyed--or so we are told. At a time when National Guard units are deployed alongside vigilante Minutemen on the U.S.-Mexico border, where the death toll in the past decade now exceeds 9/11`s, Philippe Legrain has written the first book about immigration that looks beyond the headlines. Why are ever-rising numbers of people from poor countries arriving in the United States, Europe, and Australia? Can we keep them out? Should we even be trying? Combining compelling firsthand reporting from around the world, incisive socioeconomic analysis, and a broad understanding of whatA?s at stake politically and culturally, Immigrants is a passionate but lucid book. In our open world, more people will inevitably move across borders, Legrain says--and we should generally welcome them. They… [detailed...]

Immigration Policy and the Labor Market: The German Experience and Lessons for Europe (Immigration Policy and the Labor Market)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: German and European immigration policies have only recently begun to cope with the inevitable: growing labor demand in the face of high unemployment and a shrinking labor force due to demographic change. Despite the implementation of Germany`s first immigration act and several European initiatives towards legal harmonization at the EU level, an actively controlling immigration policy, which would be needed to master the challenges ahead, is not yet in sight. Against this background, the book draws conclusions from the German history of immigration policy. It analyzes the country`s future demand for immigration and develops an economic model for the effective selection and integration of labor migrants that could provide the foundation for a joint European immigration strategy.

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Most industrial countries today are facing serious problems regarding old age security. Based on the idea of the working young taking care and providing for the retired elderly by contributing taxes to a pay-as-you-go redistributive pension system, the traditional contract between the generations has been put at risk due to an increasing life expectancy combined with decreasing birth rates. The demographic problems Western societies are facing today will worsen tomorrow jeopardizing the financial stability of a pay-as-you-go pension system. The main questions of this book referre to the financial stability of a such a pension system, the joint redistributive character of immigration and pension and the voting outcome on immigration policy. In order to arrive at answers to this questions, various economic literature is analyzed occupied with the topic of migration and pension under different aspects of the issue. [detailed...]

Immigration and the Transformation of Europe

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A new kind of historic transformation is underway in 21st-century Europe. 20th-century Europeans were no strangers to social, economic, and political change, but their major challenges focused mainly on the intra-European construction of stable, prosperous, capitalist democracies. Today, by contrast, one of the major challenges is flows across borders - and particularly in-flows of non-European people. Immigration and minority integration consistently occupy the headlines. The issues which rival immigration - unemployment, crime, terrorism - are often presented by politicians as its negative secondary effects. Immigration is also intimately connected to the profound challenges of demographic change, economic growth and welfare-state reform. Both academic observers and the European public are increasingly convinced that Europe`s future will largely turn on how is admits and integrates non-Europeans. This book is a comprehensive stock-taking of the contemporary situation and its policy… [detailed...]

Immigration in a Changing Economy: California`s Experience--Questions and Answers

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Steadily increasing immigration to California over the past thirty years has profoundly affected the state. Some observers of these changes see the extreme diversity of California`s population as the harbinger of where the nation is headed in the long term. Others see California as the symbol of a major backlash against immigrants and immigration. How has California benefited from immigration? What impact have immigrants had on the state`s job market? How have they affected the demand for federal and state services? What has been their education and economic progress since their arrival? This book summarizes the findings of a comprehensive study fully documented in Immigration in a Changing Economy: California`s Experience, by Kevin F. McCarthy and Georges Vernez. Using a question-and-answer framework, it discusses the impact immigration has had on the state`s demography, economy, people, and institutions, drawing lessons for California`s future as well as for other states and the… [detailed...]

Immigration in a Changing Economy: California`s Experience

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The current national debate on immigration policy is especially intense in California, home to one-third of the country`s immigrants. Much of this debate consists of advocates stating their views without the benefit of a nonpartisan assessment of the issue and the challenges it poses for the state. Our study provides such an assessment by examining how immigration has interacted with other demographic and economic trends in California since the 1960s. This three-year study, the first to take a 30-year perspective, profiles the changing character of recent immigrants and considers their contribution to the economy, their effects on other workers and the public sector, and their educational and economic success. Its findings can provide lessons for other states, the nation, and even other countries [detailed...]
