Migrant diversity: introducing the migrant diversity category to diversity management

Chapter 7 in Research Handbook on Migration and Employment, 2024, pp 109-121 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Studies on diversity management cluster local/indigenous and migrant/refugee diversity together under the single category of ethnic and racial diversity. Studying diversity concerns of these two groups, despite their shared ethnicised and racialised experiences, means that unique and idiosyncratic experiences of migrants and refugees often get ignored in preference for local/indigenous ethnic diversity. In this chapter, we explain why migrants and refugees should be treated as a unique category of diversity. We demonstrate how studies on ethnic and racial diversity fail to attend to concerns of migrants and refugees in preference for attending to demands of indigenous/local ethnic and racial groups. The chapter explains the unique aspects of migrant diversity and how these unique aspects could be considered either as part of ethnic/racial diversity without losing their significance or as a separate category of diversity in the diversity management literature.
