"This edited volume is a welcome and much-needed addition to the European equality and diversity literature. It is clear, thorough, informative, critical and thought-provoking. A must-read for diversity researchers." Gill Kirton, Reader in Employment Relations, School of Business and Management, Queen Mary University of London “This lucid and informative book details employment inequality by ethnicity and gender across Europe and makes a compelling, sophisticated, business case for better integrating the workforce. It should be required reading for academics, policymakers and, most of all, employers.” Frank Dobbin, Professor of Sociology, Harvard University “This book offers a multifaceted look at today’s immigrant employment opportunities: the gender differences found in the labour market, ethnic discrimination and diversity management. Useful for scientists, researchers, employers and the job-seeking public.” Elli Heikkilä, Docent, Research Director, Institute of Migration, Turku, Finland
