Summary

Gender, Migration and the Global Race for Talent examines how governments vying to attract the best skilled workers worldwide may unintentionally perpetuate gender discrimination. It explores how existing labour market gender disparities—including career trajectories, pay gaps, and occupational segregation—are mirrored in immigration selection policies. This pioneering work offers a comprehensive gender-focused analysis of global talent migration, shedding light on outdated policy frameworks rooted in traditional family models.

Book Hero Magic created this recommendation. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! IS THIS YOUR NEXT READ?

This book is ideal for graduate students, researchers, policy-makers, and practitioners engaged in immigration studies, political science, public policy, sociology, gender studies, and Australian and Canadian studies.

This book analyses the gendered terrain of skilled immigration policies across twelve countries and thirty seven skilled immigration visas. It argues that while skilled immigration policies are often gendered, this outcome is not inevitable and that governments possess considerable scope in policy design.

Description

The global race for skilled immigrants seeks to attract the best global workers. In the pursuit of these individuals, governments may incidentally discriminate on gender grounds.

Existing gendered differences in the global labour market related to life course trajectories, pay gaps and gendered divisions in occupational specialisation are also present in skilled immigration selection policies.

Presenting the first book-length account of the global race for talent from a gender perspective, Gender, Migration and the Global Race for Talent will be read by graduate students, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners in the fields of immigration studies, political science, public policy, sociology and gender studies, as well as Australian and Canadian studies.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Gender, Migration and the Global Race for Talent receives praise for its thorough, critical cross-national analysis of skilled immigration policies in twelve OECD countries. Anna Boucher’s well-documented study highlights the need to replace antiquated policies based on a "male breadwinner/female trailing spouse" paradigm with approaches that reflect twenty-first century workforce realities and promote diversity and equity. Karen Garner of SUNY Empire State College commends the book for addressing a crucial contemporary issue and proposing meaningful policy reform.
