The influence of Europeanization policies on immigrants’ participation in Scandinavian higher education

Abstract

The aim of the paper is to provide further insights into the mechanisms contributing to the integration of immigrants in higher education. Recent immigration waves into Europe place pressure on European communities; However, mass immigration is only expected to increase. The immigrants' influence on their host countries depends on their economic performance and how well they adapt. In this regard education serves as a key component towards successful integration. As European higher education transforms the influence of these reforms on the participation rates of immigrants is of relevance. A comparison between the participation rates of immigrants following the Europeanization of the Scandinavian higher education system provides interesting insights to these issues.

Social and economic development of Ukraine: Modelling the migration factor impact

“…An essential theoretical and simultaneously socio-economic foundation in the empirics of the relationship between migration and socio-economic development is grounded in contemporary international migration theories such as the new economics of labour migration, the push-рull theory, the institutional approach theory, the world systems theory of migration, cumulative causation of migration, relative inequality theory of migration, etc. Their bases are largely supplemented, developed and adjusted to the specifics of current trends and consequences of migration in the studies that provide new methodological approaches to the analysis of the impact of migration on the socio-economic development of a country and its territories (Nyberg-Sorensen, Hear, & Engberg--Pedersen, 2002;Rahman, 2013;Baele, & Sterck, 2015;Basarabă, & Nistor, 2015;Donou-Adonsou, & Lim, 2015;Škuflić, Krpan, & Žmuk, 2018;Kagan, 2019); specify the results of critical (by volumes and negative consequences) migration against the development of human capital (Kuzmin, Bublyk, Shakhno, Korolenko, & Lashkun, 2020;Wielechowski, 2021), falling living standards and quality of life and reducing the wellbeing of households (Shpak, Bublyk, & Rybytska, 2017).…”
