Competition among developed industrialised countries for highly skilled migrants has increased in recent decades with the onset of the knowledge-based economy and society (Triandafyllidou and Isaakyan 2014)
The share of highly skilled migrants reached 30% in 2011 (Eurostat 2011), and several Western countries have resorted to migration policies as an instrument to fill the gaps in the supply of skilled workers in knowledge-based economies (European Migration Network 2007; OECD-EU 2016; Burmann et al 2018)
Summary
Publisher’s Note: MDPI stays neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations. Highly skilled migrant women offer an important context to study how the many categories of social difference (e.g., gender, migrant status and occupational sector) operate in conjunction to shape labour market participation and outcomes (Grigoleit-Richter 2017; Raghuram 2008; Shirmohammadi et al 2018).
