Study on "The impact of the global economic crisis on decent work and decent work policies in key emerging economie, with a special emphasis on the situation of young people and women

In how far has the crisis, and its focus on combating unemployment, changed the promotion of decent work and how did decent work policies react to the new challenges in selected emerging economies (with fieldwork in China, India, Mexico, Brazil, Chile). Are the longer term benefits of decent work taken into account in the recovery policies of these countries? The study should enhance the Commission's knowledge base, feeding into the Commission's 2011 Decent Work Progress Report. It should also inform with a view to advancing the Commission's position on Decent Work at international level (e.g. in ILO, G8/G20 context). Young people and women are among the groups suffering most in the downturn of labour markets due to the economic crisis. The study will therefore include a specific focus on the impact of the crisis on the participation of young people and women in the labour markets and their decent work opportunities in selected developed countries (US, Canada) and emerging economies (China, India, Brazil), and the policies in place for enhancing their employment pros

Study on learning from international dialogues on new skills for new jobs

As part of the New Skills for New Jobs initiative, theCommission has been launching a series of dialogues with its bilateral partners (China, India, Canada, US etc.). The purpose of this study is to synthesise the results of these exchanges and to analyse the potential lessons to be drawn from a comparative perspective, against the background of the ongoing policy development on NSfNJ within the EU. Enhancing the EU's knowledge base on these issues from a comparative perspective will feed back into the bilateral dialogues and the activities of the EU at international level (ILO, OECD) on this issue.

OECD/EU joint management on "The role of naturalisation on the integration of immigrants"

One area where there is still a lack of research are the socio-economic implications of naturalisation. The different dimensions remain to be investigated in most countries, and international comparisons have not been done. Some of the major issues are access to employment, including public sector employment or regulated professions, impact on wages, and occupational mobility). Additional consideration can be given to the implications for broader social integration (language, housing, etc.).This work would represent a follow-up to the joint work done in 2009 on the labour market integration of the second generation, since it is a particularly important issue for that group. However, the project would not be limited to the children of immigrants, but will include first generation migrants and others.The different experiences in terms of policy and outcomes in European and non-European OECD countries would be contrasted. One question the project will attempt to answer is whether or not there is evidence for a “trade-off” in naturalisation policy
