“…According to the FSITA results, these Anglophone countries belong to the 4A (the active or weak welfare and the (conditional) multiculturalist immigration) type. Eugster’s (2018) also points out that the two clusters show decisive differences in immigrants’ access to social welfare programmes. The substantive social rights and responsibilities of immigrants in the Anglophone welfare states can be relatively less inclusive than those in the Scandinavian welfare states because of their weak intent to protect individuals’ income and employment despite its fairly liberal approach to immigration control and immigrant integration.…”

“…Overall, this article has attempted to reveal cross‐national differences in two main institutions, welfare and immigration regimes, and thereby explore and compare immigrants’ social rights and responsibilities in different countries. However, it needs to note that given the limited time frame its analytical findings are tentative, and moreover, its specific focus on comparing different countries’ institutional arrangements does not capture other determinants such as the type of immigration (e.g., Eugster, 2018; Sainsbury, 2012). This analysis, however, clearly shows that different configurations of welfare and immigration regime types across countries arguably bring about different policy patterns and logics of inclusion and exclusion over immigrants.…”

“…The social rights and responsibilities of immigrants have gradually been one of the topics on the rise in comparative social welfare research (see Sainsbury, 2012). Most comparative studies concerning immigrants’ social citizenship and/or rights, however, have been restricted to the case‐oriented method using a small number of countries, and few studies conduct systematic analyses (see Eugster, 2018; Morissens & Sainsbury, 2005; Römer, 2017). For example, Morissens and Sainsbury’s (2005) research, although covering only six countries (Denmark, France, Germany, Sweden, the UK, and the United States), analyses the social rights of ethnic minority migrants.…”

This article studies the social rights and responsibilities of immigrants in an international comparative perspective, focusing on two main institutions underpinning immigrants’ social rights and responsibilities (i.e., the welfare regime and immigration regime of the host state). Drawing on literature about both welfare and immigration regimes, its fussy set ideal type analysis highlights three fuzzy sets for welfare regimes (i.e., income protection, employment protection, and activation) and three for immigration regimes (individual equality, cultural difference, and citizenship conditionality) in order to explore and explain differences in immigrants’ social rights and responsibilities in different nations. Through a multidimensional investigation of these different dimensions of both welfare and immigration regimes, it presents new insights into the social rights and responsibilities of immigrants. Analysis provides some support for existing understandings of welfare and immigration regimes but simultaneously highlights, in some cases, shifts in regimes which challenge them, particularly existing nations’ classification.

“…According to Eugster (2018) it is not only immigration and the incorporation of immigrants into society that serve as challenges for industrialised and post-industrialised countries, but also rising inequality and poverty. The author further claims that social rights -here understood as their access to paid employment and welfare benefits -condition the impact on society [8]. Haas et al (2019) claim that there is regulation of migration.…”

The Sustainability of EU Labor Immigration in Terms of Poverty Inequalities and Employment

The basic feature of developed economies is a high economic growth rate, which creates the preconditions for a high living standard of population based on high incomes from economic activities. Development processes in advanced economies also include changes in demographic development, resulting in population structure changes, as well as labor force structure changes caused by birth rates reduction and life expectancy increase and an aging process. Due to the high standard of living in European developed countries, they are becoming attractive to less developed countries, having a surplus of labor that migrates to work with a vision of increasing living standards and quality of life. The workforce does not always find full employment here in terms of qualifications, leading to social inequalities between the domestic population and immigrants for whom the social situation poses a risk of poverty. The goal of the article is to determine the specifics of inequalities between the domestic and immigrant population in terms of social status in individual EU countries. Immigrants coming out of the EU are significantly at higher risk of poverty. In most EU countries, the employment rate in the group “nationals” is lower than in the group “foreign” from the EU.

“…In addition, the recent migration and refugee crisis in Europe, resulting from the war and insecurity in the Middle East, Africa, and Southern Asia (Allen et al, 2018;Niemann & Zaun, 2018) boosted inequality and poverty across immigrant and refugee class (Eugster, 2018). Eugster (2018) found that regulatory institutions are more successful in reducing the poverty of the immigrants in countries where the immigrants have a greater access to the employment and social benefits. A recent blog on world economic forum highlighted that policies to reform education for youth are not sufficient from the human capital development rather there is a continuous need for up-skilling the current workforce as well.…”

Quadratic Indirect Effect of National TVET Expenditure on Economic Growth Through Social Inclusion Indicators

The recent movement of social-investment state encouraged national educational initiatives taken by the policy makers of developed countries to enhance individual's social inclusion for national economic gains. Benefiting from human capital theory, the author has reexamined the indirect effect of nation expenditure of technical and vocational education and training (TVET) on economic growth through social inclusion by isolating the effective key social inclusion dimensions (employment, earnings, and multidimensional poverty) from each other. A 15-year data set, ranging from 2000 to 2014, collected from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) database of 21 OECD member European countries was used for hypotheses testing. The statistical results obtained through the quadratic indirect effects demonstrate clear support for the entire hypotheses. However, the results demonstrate that the indirect effects decrease as the values of TVET expenditure increases, particularly, when the indirect effect is investigated through the wages or when the overall index value of social inclusion indicators is introduced as a mediator. The study offers some implications for the researchers and the policy makers who are interested in determining the overall effectiveness of human capital development initiatives in the welfare-state/social-investment states.
