Attracting skilled labour from third countries: The role of Public Employment Services

Abstract

"The Thematic Paper highlights varying national labor migration policies, with PES roles closely tied to the implementation of these regulations (e.g. issuing of work permits, and performing labor market tests). Efforts to facilitate recruitment from third country nationals in a context of labor shortages are underway. Some countries are, for instance, simplifying procedures or exempting certain groups from labor market tests. However, there is often a lack of clear strategies for recruiting skilled workers from third countries. The need for comprehensive national strategies that would define clear responsibilities for PES is emphasised." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
