Oslo Metropolitan University:

Newly arrived female immigrants often find themselves in a vulnerable position in the labour market due to lack of the formal skills, limited host-country language skills, and cultural background differing from the mainstream norms This intersection of conditions often serves as bases for a higher rate of discrimination among female immigrants. Introduction programmes for immigrants aim to increase their host-country knowledge and subsequently to increase labour market inclusion.

Recent research has shown limited effect of introduction programmes in achieving this aim, and lately, such programmes have turned towards a faster implementation which may be at the expense of a healthy and long-lasting inclusion in the labour market. Thus, many female immigrants start working in occupations where few formal skills are required and consequently having poor employment and earnings prospects.

There are many pathways to employment of female immigrants, this presentation raises the question: how can policies ensure a healthy and long-lasting inclusion?

The Migramom-project: Partners from five European countries have developed six learning modules that are freely available for teachers and others who wish to help strengthen immigrant mothers' competence in digital skills, life management skills, and more.
