INTEGRATING LOW-SKILLED MIGRANTS IN THE DIGITAL AGE: EUROPEAN AND US EXPERIENCE

Wolfgang Petritsch, President of the Austrian Marshall Plan Foundation: „This book compares the effects of digitalization and automation on the working lives of vulnerable low-skilled migrants in Europe and the US. Lifelong learning, combined with appropriate vocational education and training, is necessary to help low-skilled migrant workers succeed in the digital age. The comparative analysis outlines the issues clearly, and offers practical suggestions, for policy makers, practitioners and all those interested in successfully integrating newcomers“
