Abstract: Chart of the month Labour market integration of non-EU migrants and refugees by Sebastian Leitner Opinion corner A new initiative on migration and refugee policy by Michael Landesmann This opinion piece explores the need and the opportunity for the new EU Commission to make some strides towards an EU-wide coordinated migration and refugee policy. This is against the background of the looming complementarity in the demographic dynamic between the European continent and the neighbouring non-EU regions (Middle East, Northern and Sub-Saharan Africa). These provide very strong 'push' and 'pull' forces for migration and refugee flows over the coming decades. Various domains of integration of refugees and their interrelationship A study of recent refugees in Austria by Michael Landesmann and Sandra M. Leitner Refugee integration is a complex and multifaceted process which can be hampered by various obstacles. In this article we report results from the analysis of a unique survey among refugees from Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq who have recently come to Austria. We not only identify the key determinants of their labour market and social integration but also show that both domains of integration are interrelated. Our results point to important policy implications. Doctors on the move mobility patterns in the EU by Isilda Mara Half of the EU countries are already facing shortages of medical doctors which are likely to grow in the future. Attracting doctors from abroad has been a tangible and a quick solution to this, but affected negatively the ‘sending’ countries. This article provides a glimpse into recent mobility patterns of medical doctors in the EU and potential steps forward to address the shortages of doctors in EU-CEE countries.
