The occupational promotion of migrant workers: contribution from the Netherlands
report
Based on two consecutive studies (the Netherlands Working Condition Survey (NEA), TNO), a review (Discrimination Monitor, SCP) and literature it is concluded that non-western migrants experience more labour market problems than western migrants. In general non-western migrants experience more discrimination in the workplace, recruitment and selection and (threatened) termination of the employment contract than western migrants. Non-western migrants appear to have less beneficial contractual relations compared to western migrants. Non-western migrants are more often low educated while western migrants are more often high educated. Western migrants make more use of training paid by the employer than non western migrants. Especially non-western men report that job and education/experience don’t match. For both migrant groups (western and non western) career advancements by in company shifts are more or less the same.
