Dr Elise Feron, Director of the MA International Conflict and Security, publishes ‘Labour Plus: Policy Recommendations and Guidelines for Inclusive and Sustainable Strategies and Employment Policies regarding Migrant and Roma Populations’ as part of an EU European Regional Development initiative.
Local authorities across Europe face a challenge: how to include migrants and in particular Roma populations so that they can play an active role in society. The Labour Plus Project offers pragmatic solutions to those challenges to make the labour market stronger, more equal and more accessible for these migrants. This publication has involved three years of close collaboration with local authorities spread across Europe and brings together findings on local employment policies for migrants and Roma, builds on the main trends within the EU in these areas of public policy and offers new insights designed to help other local decision-makers and communities.
The publication can be accessed via the Labour Plus website at http://www.labourplus.eu/
