This is the conclusion reached by a study presented by the International Labour Organization, which confirms that immigrant workers in Europe and North America are generally discriminated against.
This report, prepared in ten European countries, the United States, and Canada, indicates that young foreigners, despite having the same skills, education, and experience as the nationals they live alongside, must apply for jobs four or five times more often to receive a favorable response.
This discrimination even affects people who have features or an appearance that suggests they are foreign, who must make 15 or 20 times more attempts to be accepted for a job interview.
The current economic crisis has worsened this situation. This is also reflected in the study entitled “International Labour Migration: A Rights-Based Approach,” which also analyzes labor migration trends and their impact on countries of origin and destination.
