International Conference on Crisis and Migration (2 days, Liège)
This conference focuses on migration as a specific strategy developed by EU citizens to adjust to an adverse socio-economic environment. Participants will look at the mobility of EU citizens proceeding from Southern European Member States who move to Northern European Member States.
What
The conference aims at:
- examining the socio-economic context within which these new migration flows emerge and identify the scale and nature of this new emigration and its integration in Northern European destination countries. This is achieved through a quantitative analysis of the most recent data on flows and profiles of this new labour force using sending and receiving countries databases (Labour force survey, census, migration office data…).
- looking at the politics and policies of EU mobility both from the perspective of the sending nations (who have been speculating on the impact of this loss of labour force and on the proper policy response to adopt) and the receiving nations (who have had mixed attitudes towards this new influx of EU citizens)
