Immigration, asylum and welfare: the European context

University of Exeter

This article analyses the relationship between an emerging EU policy on immigration and asylum, and the 'modernization' of welfare state regimes. The development of new programmes for recruiting skilled and unskilled labour from outside the EU is part of an attempt to make labour markets more flexible and to increase mobility. But it is accompanied by tougher measures to deter asylum seekers and control 'illegal immigration'. The authors argue that this new regulatory regime will continue to be challenged by forced migration and by the spontaneous movement of populations.

Key Words: flexibility • labour markets • modernization • refugees
