Trinity Immigration Initiative Migrant Careers and Aspirations Past Events
Symposium, 5 June, 2009
Trinity Immigration Initiative/ERC Research Symposium:
Migration and the Irish Workplace
The vast majority of people who have migrated to Ireland in recent years have
done so in search for work. According to the most recent Central Statistics
Office figures, one in six workers in the Irish labour force is now of foreign
nationality. To what extent has this inward migration transformed the Irish
workplace? This Symposium brought together academics and researchers from
various disciplines (sociology, economics, employment law and industrial
relations) to discuss the impact of immigration on work and employment in
Ireland. Papers addressed the following topics:
• Migrant experiences and aspirations
• Integration at work
• The economic impact of labour migration
• High-skilled migration and skills shortages
• Labour standards and a new compliance regime
The Symposium was organised by the Migrant Careers and Aspirations project
within the Trinity Immigration Initiative. For further information, please
