“…The immigrant mismatch is especially prevalent in economically advanced regions such as Europe, Australia and the USA. Most immigrants have to accept low-level jobs related to construction, health and services in their host country (Kolsrud, 2018) or are forced to work within their home networks at the expense of downward mobility and underemployment in Distributive justice perspective ethnic and gendered markets (Qureshi et al, 2013). The discussion about immigrant mismatch has been centering on the mismatch between educational attainment and occupations in the host country (Green et al, 2007;Joona et al, 2014;Sanroma et al, 2008).…”

Purpose Employment mismatch is a significant problem in many countries. However, little conceptualization research has been conducted on employment mismatch from a social justice perspective. The purpose of this study is to shed light on social justice issues that have been obscured in the human resource development (HRD) literature through the lens of the distributive justice theory. Design/methodology/approach This study first reviews the literature to identify the gaps in employment mismatch research by reviewing three relevant bodies of literature: education mismatch, immigrant mismatch and disability mismatch. It then provides a new conceptualization of employment mismatch by examining employment mismatch through the lens of Rawls’ (1971) distributive justice theory. Findings The author proposed a framework of healthy employment relations using the constructs of social system design, moral guidance, education reform and individual development. Implications were proposed for research and practice. Originality/value The new framework of healthy employment approaches employment mismatch from four aspects embraced by the distributive justice theory. This model can assist HRD professionals and policymakers in responding to the employment mismatch of different populations.

caused an increasing influx of foreign job seekers. I quantify regional and occupational mismatch using a single indicator, and make a distinction between natives and immigrants. The indicator shows no reduction in mismatch over the eleven years. Still, 'footloose' immigrants seem, in a certain sense, to have adapted better than 'rooted' natives to the structure of labour demand in the regional dimension. In the occupational dimension immigrants are more similar to natives. With more or less given qualifications, they did not improve the balance between supply and demand for skilled labour.
