Overview of Migrant Rights Indicators --References --IndexMany low-income countries and development organizations are calling for greater liberalization of labor immigration policies in high-income countries. At the same time, human rights organizations and migrant rights advocates demand more equal rights for migrant workers. The Price of Rights shows why you cannot always have both. Examining labor immigration policies in over forty countries, as well as policy drivers in major migrant-receiving and migrant-sending states, Martin Ruhs finds that there are trade-offs in the policies of high-income countries between openness to admitting migrant workers and some of the rights granted to migrants after admission. Insisting on greater equality of rights for migrant workers can come at the price of more restrictive admission policies, especially for lower-skilled workers. Ruhs advocates the liberalization of international labor migration through temporary migration programs that protect a universal set of core rights and account for the interests of nation-states by restricting a few specific rights that create net costs for receiving countries. The Price of Rights analyzes how high-income countries restrict the rights of migrant workers as part of their labor immigration policies and discusses the implications for global debates about regulating labor migration and protecting migrants. It comprehensively looks at the tensions between human rights and citizenship rights, the agency and interests of migrants and states, and the determinants and ethics of labor immigration policy.Foreign workersCivil rightsForeign workersLegal status, laws, etcLabor laws and legislationHuman rightsEmigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyEmigration and immigration lawConvention on Migrant Workers.citizenship rights.economic efficiency.equal rights.ethics.high-income countries.higher-skilled workers.human development.human rights.international labor migration.international migrant rights.labor emigration.labor immigration policies.labor immigration policy.labor immigration programs.labor markets.labor migration.legal rights.low-income countries.lower-skilled workers.middle-income countries.migrant rights.migrant workers.migrant-receiving countries.migrant-sending countries.migrants.nation-states.national identity.national security.openness.receiving countries.rights equality.sending countries.skill levels.social cohesion.temporary migration programs.Foreign workersCivil rights.Foreign workersLegal status, laws, etc.Labor laws and legislation.Human rights.Emigration and immigrationEconomic aspects.Emigration and immigrationGovernment policy.Emigration and immigration law.331.6/2Ruhs Martin1664033MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910808015203321The price of rights4021838UNINA
