Introduction to the Special Issue: European youth migration: human capital outcomes, skills and competences

Abstract: Human capital has been long an exceedingly important concept in migration research. Over time there have been attempts to provide more nuanced, and less economistic interpretations of human capital. Based on outputs from the EU Horizon 2020 project YMOBILITY (2015-2018) and two additional papers, this Special Issue seeks to advance this agenda further by addressing the complexities of the mobility of human capital. Migration problematises human capital assumptions due to challenges in transferring human capita… Show more

“…Reflecting these critiques, our analysis of lower-educated Europeans in Britain illustrates the wide and versatile nature of 'skills', from technical to social and personal ones (Hagan, Demonsant, and Chávez 2014, 81), acquired within and beyond the workplace, as well as the learning potential of all migrants (Lulle, Janta, and Emilsson 2019). In addition, it calls attention to how migrants' own understanding and use of skills may redraw traditional distinctions and hierarchies.…”

“…Occupational mobility and career success are typically associated with 'high-skilled' migrants, most often defined as possessing university education or 'extensive experience in a given field' (Iredale 2000, 883). As widely documented, migrants often encounter difficulties in transferring their skills and qualifications abroad, getting jobs below their qualifications (Nowicka 2014;Parutis 2014;Lulle, Janta, and Emilsson 2019). Over time, developing language skills, knowledge and credentials specific to the place of settlement have been linked with improved access to higher-level occupations and earnings (Hagan, Lowe, and Quingla 2011, 152-153).…”

“…Menntunarstig foreldra hefur tvöfaldast á þessum 20 árum og er nú 60% enda eru þessi foreldrar sú kynslóð sem naut góðs af opnun framhalds-og háskólastigsins (Jón Torfi Jónasson 1997). Margir innflytjendur hafa háskólamenntun, sem samkvaemt rannsóknum er þó mun síður metin að verðleikum á vinnumarkaði en meðal innfaeddra (Lulle, Janta & Emilsson 2019). Þannig má segja að tölur um menntunarstig í hverfunum með laegst hlutfall á öllum víddum auðs hafi því talsvert aðra merkingu en á auðstéttasvaeðunum og stéttamunurinn sé í raun meiri.…”

“…Tako se u zemljama u razvoju kao primarni faktori izdvajaju oni ekonomske prirode -nedostatak osnovnih materijalnih sredstava za život, nezaposlenost i nemogućnost napredovanja u karijeri, nezadovoljstvo ekonomskom situacijom, profesijom, primanjima, ali i kvalitetom života uopšte. Sa druge strane, istraživanja sprovedena u razvijenim delovima sveta 2 ukazala su na značaj obrazovanja u oblikovanju migracionih obrazaca, kao i na to da su visokoobrazovana lica u većoj meri uključena u migracioni proces u odnosu na ostatak populacije (Duplantier i sur., 2017;Semela i Cochrane, 2019;Lulle, Janta i Emilsson, 2019;Milasi, 2020). Treba imati u vidu da mladi, pogotovo iz grupe zemalja u razvoju, dolaskom u državu destinacije neretko obavljaju niskokvalifikovane poslove, bez obzira na stepen obrazovanja (King i sur., 2016).…”
