Migration and Mobility in Europe and Central Asia
When : Nov 30, 2017 Time : 12:30pm Venue : World Bank MC 7- 424Location : Washington DC

Event description:

Public concerns in Europe and Central Asia over the recent sharp increase in asylum seekers and undocumented migrants seem to reflect a broader anxiety about reduced job security, caused by technological developments and internationalization of production and work. Policy reforms should help both migrants and non-migrants cope with increased and unavoidable flexibility in labor markets.
