This volume (Parts A and B) contains 16 new studies that shed light on key aspects of immigration: the drivers of immigration, the factors fostering or hindering immigrant integration in the host country, and the impact of immigration in the host countries. The studies span a wide range of countries in Europe, North and South America and use novel administrative, regional and survey data to offer insights into historical and contemporary episodes of migration. Together, they enrich our understanding of the determinants and consequences of migration and provide an evidence base for policy discussions. The volume covers three broad themes. In both Part A and B are eight papers on the integration of immigrants in the host society, focusing on the acquisition of human capital, labor supply, family formation, and returns to skills. Part B also studies the impact of immigration on outcomes that often dominate the public debate, namely employment, education, and crime. Published twice per year in conjunction with the Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Research in Labor Economics contains new cutting edge peer reviewed research applying economic theory and econometrics to policy related topics pertinent to worker well-being often with an international focus.

Guerak, Hasan (ed.), The Economics of Migration of Highly Skilled Workers from Tuerkiye: The New Age of Colonialism. 179 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <762-201>
ISBN 978-3-032-10605-6 hard ¥28,915.- (税込) EUR 109.99

This book examines the migration of highly skilled labour from developing countries to developed ones and assesses the economics costs associated with this. By highlighting the impact of migration on developing countries, it outlines the development challenges created by the loss of highly skilled workers, especially the loss of specialised knowledge. With a particular focus on the movement of labour from Tuerkiye to the rest of the world, the inability of Tuerkiye to grow its own IT and engineering industries is discussed, alongside attempts to retain highly skilled labour. This book offers a new perspective on global migration and the hidden economic costs associated with it. It will be relevant to students, researchers, and policymakers interested in labour and development economics.

Technological change, multiple crises, green and digital transitions, and demographic shifts are transforming labour markets across European regions. Since the early 2000s, regional labour market foresight has gained importance in research, policy, and among actors such as chambers, employer organisations, and trade unions. Initiated in 2005, the EN RLMM has become a hub for exchanging innovative approaches to monitoring and forecasting regional labour markets. This volume presents methods, data, and knowledge transfer practices that enable anticipation of regional trends. Contributions from 31 experts highlight how tailored foresight approaches can support evidence-based policy planning in increasingly complex and dynamic labour market environments.

Robertson, Ewan, Making Work Pay in Mature Welfare States: The Politics of In-Work Benefits in France and the United Kingdom. (Work and Welfare in Europe) 338 pp. 2026:1 (Palgrave Macmillan, UK) <762-203>

This book provides a fresh narrative of policy reforms to support low-income workers in France and the United Kingdom in recent decades. It tackles the puzzle of why two institutionally-distinct welfare states came to make use of similar instruments - including subsidising wages via in-work benefits - to 'make work pay' and reduce in-work poverty. Drawing on primary interviews and documents, the account argues that governmental decisions were decisively influenced by prevailing ideas among political and policy elites, rather than the concrete demands of voters and interest groups. It also charts how wider developments in each state's social security and labour market system led to a process of partial welfare state convergence. The findings contribute to contemporary debates regarding welfare state politics, ideational power, and democratic representation. The volume will be of interest students and researchers in the fields of social and public policy, political science, political economy, sociology, and cognate disciplines.
