Guglielmo Meardi enhances often fragmented migration and employment research by bringing together a range of multidisciplinary authors including demographers, geographers, economists, sociologists, political scientists and labour lawyers across the Global South and North. Contributing authors explore labour market trends, discuss regional and sectoral perspectives, and analyse the most important actors, politics and regulations in the field of migration and employment. Chapters cover key issues such as supply and demand, diversity management, trade unions and migrant workers in the care sector.
Providing statistical analysis, literature reviews, conceptual theory and practical policy, this book is a vital resource for students, researchers and academics specialising in migration, labour studies, development studies, politics and public and social policy, and sociology. It is also beneficial to policymakers and think tank professionals focusing on the international mobility of workers.

Critical Acclaim
‘The explosive growth in migration scholarship and the simultaneous proliferation of employment studies have been largely contained in distinct academic silos. With contributions from leading researchers recruited across the globe, this Handbook highlights the synergies between these two fields so as to spark an enduring dialogue. It deserves a prominent spot on the shelves of migration and employment scholars alike.’

‘At a time when several developed countries are reopening their doors to labor migration, this Handbook offers a series of valuable interdisciplinary and international contributions to delve deeper into the intersection between immigration and the labor market today. It will be important not only to scholars, but also to decision-makers and operators in this crucial terrain.’
– Maurizio Ambrosini, University of Milan, Italy
‘Migration is dramatically transforming our world economically, socially and politically. This long-overdue volume, admirably interdisciplinary and global in scope, distinguishes itself as the authoritative source on how international migration and employment interact.’
