Sommario/riassunto |
|
The need to analyse labour market mechanisms in post-industrial Western societies is urgent. Despite laws and policy measures being developed at the European, national and local levels, job-seeking immigrants and ethnic minorities still suffer unequal access and ethnic discrimination.

From here, both scholars and practitioners can help make equal opportunities more accessible than ever. |
