Political and scientific debates on migration policies have mostly
focused on governments' efforts to control or reduce low-skilled,
asylum, and irregular migration or to encourage the return
migration of these categories. Less research and constructive
discourse has been conducted on the role and effectiveness of
policies to attract or retain high-skilled workers. An improved
understanding of the drivers and dynamics of high-skilled migration
is essential for effective policy-making, as most highly developed
and emerging economies experience growing shortages of high-skilled
labour supply in certain occupations and sectors, and skilled
immigration is often viewed as one way of addressing these.
Simplistic assumptions that high-skilled migrants are primarily in
pursuit of higher wages raise the expectation that policies which
open channels for high-skilled immigration are generally
successful. Although many countries have introduced policies aimed
at attracting and facilitating the recruitment of high-skilled
workers, not all recruitment efforts have had the desired effects,
and anecdotal evidence on the effectiveness of these programmes is
rather mixed. The reason is that the rather narrow focus on
migration policy coincides with a lack of systematic and rigorous
consideration of other economic, social, and political drivers of
migration, which may be equally - or sometimes even more -
important than migration policies per se. A better understanding of
migration policies, their making, consequences and limitations,
requires a systematic knowledge of the broader economic, social and
political structures and their interaction in both origin and
destination countries. This book enhances this vibrant field of
social scientific enquiry by providing a systematic,
multidisciplinary, and global analysis of policies driving
international high-skilled migration processes in their interaction
with other migration drivers at the individual, city, national, and
international level.
