“…In addition to the indicators under consideration, other labour market outcomes can be evaluated, including the number of hours worked (Mercan and Karakas, 2019) and pension entitlements (Neels et al, 2017). However, data availability for these aspects is limited, precluding their inclusion in the present discussion.…”

“…According to our definitions, these individuals can be categorised as first, second, or even thirdgeneration migrants. (4) The study of Mercan and Karakas (2019) does not include a definition for migrants. In cases (2), (3), and (4), we adhere to the terminology employed by the respective authors to order the studies in the overview table and discuss their outcomes in the text.…”

“…During this period, the structure of work immigrants also changed significantly. After Slovakia's accession to the EU (2004), highly qualified immigrants from EU / EEA member states came to the Slovak labour market (Klučka and Nováček, 2020;Mercan and Karakas, 2019). After 2015, the demand for lower-skilled labour in industry rose sharply, being a stimulus for the massive influx of economic immigrants from third countries.…”

Foreign-born population in Slovakia has been growing steadily over recent years. Since 2018, foreigners from the so-called third countries have become dominant within the immigrant population. The migration crisis due to the Pandemic seems not affected the patterns of migration to Slovakia. We would argue that the need in Slovakia‘s domestic labour market affected immigration flows more than anything else. Before the outbreak of the COVID-19 Pandemic, due to emigration flows, there was a shortage of labour in the country. However, as a result of the restrictive measures taken by the government in response to the Pandemic, changes are taking place, which also has an impact on the employment of foreigners. During the Pandemic, several laws regulating the legal status of foreigners in the Slovak Republic have been amended. This article focuses on the legislative developments in shaping the Slovak migration policy in the near future.

Labour markets struggle to be inclusive, while diversity is increasing. This literature review examines labour market challenges faced by first- and second-generation migrants in Belgium. We systematically review articles published between 2010 and 2023 in the Web of Science Core Collection to delineate underlying mechanisms, associated solutions, policy recommendations and literature gaps. The literature reveals that individuals with a migration background generally experience poorer labour market outcomes than natives. These outcomes vary based on specific origin and gender and persist from the first into the second generation. The mechanisms underlying these poorer outcomes are discrimination, individual preferences, and human and social capital differences. Recommendations for employers include implementing standardised hiring procedures and fostering awareness of discrimination among recruiters. On the employee side, investing in human capital, increasing labour market knowledge, and having competencies formally recognised can help to narrow employment gaps. Our review also advocates for policy refinement to combat biases and suggests that alternative pathways to attaining employment, such as self-employment and volunteering, are promising areas for future research.
