Immigrant children experience high levels of discrimination when entering the labor market

The successful integration of migrants contributes to the future well-being, prosperity and cohesion of any society. However, labor market inequalities involving immigrants and minorities act as a barrier to the efficient use of existing human capital and growth. The rising share of migrants and their descendants in Europe poses a major policy challenge, where their incorporation and the successful management of labor mobility play an essential role. Supported by the EU-funded GEMM project, a recent study on hiring procedures in Europe concluded that children of immigrants face discrimination when accessing the labor market.
