The Global Economic Crisis and MigrationAuthor(s): Christof Roos, Natascha Zaun\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138501911, 978-1138501911\nSynopsis\nOffering an in-depth analysis of the impact of the economic crisis [tel] on immigration movements and policies in the [url] and Europe, the analysis in this book is guided by two key questions: What is the scope of change?; and did the crisis motivate this change or did other factors do so? \n\nThe contributions to the book find that the crisis had immediate effects on migration patterns migrants left crisis-stricken countries, naturalised in non-crisis countries where they had previously settled, or stopped migrating to formerly attractive countries which had been negatively affected by the crisis. Whereas prior to the crisis the majority of migrants were highly-skilled, during the crisis there was a shift to vulnerable groups such as low-skilled workers and women.
