Immigrant ethnic minorities in the Dutch labour market

Analyses and policies.

Will immigration lead to the development of lasting and persistent ethnic minorities in the Netherlands or will there eventually be integration? This is one of the central questions of this book and the reader will discover that the answer depends on a number of factors. One of these factors is of course the future of the Dutch economy in its Western European context. The opportunities given to the individual members of immigrant ethnic minorities are another.

A number of Dutch experts associated with prominent Dutch academic institutions and organizations in this field were asked to comment on the position of immigrant ethnic minorities on the Dutch labour market. Their contributions comprise general background informations as well as more in-depth analyses of specific topics, including labour market policies.
