Abstract:
This article studies the link between level of skills and employment status among migrants and non-migrants from four European countries. We base our analyses on the PIAAC data sets collected during the last wave of enquiries (2011-2012). Competences are categorized in three main groups: literacy, numeracy and problem solving in technology-rich environments. We aim to explore differences in access to employment and level of skills of migrants and non-migrants. Most developed countries are now facing migration related challenges, including the need to enhance social integration of migrants through labour market participation. Our findings are relevant in order to better inform migration policies.
