Migrant women play an increasingly important socio-economic role in the European Union (EU). Once mostly seen as partners joining migrant men, foreign-born women increasingly migrate alone in search of work. Globally, although around half of migrants are nowadays women, their integration in host societies is often problematic. This is partly due to obstacles resulting from the institutional framework of host countries. A migrant woman's status – i.e. whether she is legally or irregularly resident ...

Most migrants arrive in Europe legally, to work, study or join family members. Over a million of the first residence permits granted to non-EU third-country nationals in 2019 were for work purposes. The EU shares competence on legal migration with Member States but can set conditions for third-country nationals' entry into and legal residence in Member States. However, Member States retain the right to determine admission numbers for third-country nationals seeking work. The Single Permit Directive ...

In dieser Studie, die von der Fachabteilung Bürgerrechte und konstitutionelle Angelegenheiten des Europäischen Parlaments auf Ersuchen des LIBE-Ausschusses in Auftrag gegeben wurde, werden die Wirksamkeit, die Effizienz und die rechtliche und praktische Kohärenz des Pakets der Kommission zur legalen Migration aus dem Jahr 2022 sowie seine Vereinbarkeit mit den Grundrechten bewertet. Die Studie zeigt, dass es einer kohärenteren und ehrgeizigeren rechtebasierten Agenda für legale Migration bedarf. ...

The IA demonstrates convincingly that the directive's fragmented implementation, which has led to complex procedures and unclear rights, is a regulatory failure that needs addressing. However, the problem definition fails to state explicitly that Member States seem to have prioritised national migration schemes over the EU single permit. Moreover, there is no 'real' range of options: the preferred option 3 (out of three options in addition to the baseline) is the only one that addresses the problems ...

Diese Studie, die von der Fachabteilung Bürgerrechte und konstitutionelle Angelegenheiten des Europäischen Parlaments auf Ersuchen des LIBE-Ausschusses in Auftrag gegeben wurde, soll als Grundlage für politische Debatten darüber dienen, wie die Grundrechte irregulärer Wanderarbeitnehmer in der EU wirksamer geschützt werden können. In der Studie wird analysiert, worin und warum sich der in den EU-Rechtsvorschriften verankerte Grundrechtsschutz und die Rechte, die irreguläre Wanderarbeitnehmer in den ...

The Directive 2011/98/EU on a single permit for third-country nationals (non-EU nationals) to reside and work in the European Union (EU) has two main objectives. The first objective is to facilitate the procedure for a third-country national to be admitted to work in an EU Member State, by introducing a single application procedure for a combined work and residence permit. The second objective is to ensure equal treatment between third-country workers and nationals of the permit issuing Member State ...

The study explores the working conditions and risks faced by essential frontline workers in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on women and migrant workers in low-paid frontline occupations. The study also provides an overview of the main legislative and policy measures adopted at EU and national level to support essential workers in order to identify possible policy actions to revaluate these occupations. The analysis is based on the triangulation of data and information resulting ...

Enormous natural gas resources have turned Qatar into one of the world's richest countries. The 11 610 km2 nation currently has the fourth highest GDP per capita in the world. The absolute monarchy's estimated 340 000-350 000 citizens benefit from free education, free healthcare, virtually guaranteed – and well paid – employment, and pay almost no taxes. However, the great majority of the emirate’s nearly 3 million inhabitants live in very different conditions. Qatar has the highest ratio of migrants ...

This study provides an in-depth analysis of the formal and informal long-term care workforce in the EU building on an extensive literature survey and data analysis. It looks at workforce characteristics, types and forms of (non-standard) employment, and working conditions. The study covers challenges in Member States related to the long-term care workforce and measures taken to address these. It ends with a discussion of policy options at national and EU level.

Die Anwerbung hochqualifizierter Zuwanderer in Europa gehört seit mehreren Jahren zu den wichtigsten Prioritäten der EU. Bislang war die EU jedoch nicht so erfolgreich wie andere OECD-Länder. Die Nachfrage nach Arbeitskräften wird aufgrund des zunehmenden Mangels an bestimmten Kompetenzen und der Alterung der Bevölkerung der EU voraussichtlich zunehmen. Eine im Jahr 2016 vorgeschlagene neue Richtlinie soll die Richtlinie über die Blaue Karte von 2009 ersetzen und die Attraktivität der Migrationsregelung ...
