Centre for Population, Family and Health
In a context of accelerated population ageing and shrinking working age populations, the successful labour market integration of migrants is rapidly gaining importance in European societies. However, considerable gaps exist in many countries between the labour market outcomes of natives and both first and second generation migrants. Segmented assimilation theory suggests that different migrant groups assimilate into different segments of the ...

Karel Neels
Centre for Population, Family and Health
Between 2015 and 2030 welfare states throughout Europe (including Belgium) will face the long-term implications of the babyboom and subsequent babybust in the latter part of the 20th century: the large cohorts of the 1950s and 1960s will gradually enter retirement, while the small cohorts born since the mid 1970s are not sufficiently large to offset the shrinking labour force. The 2001 report of the United Nations on replacement migration ...

The potential additional labour force and labour market attachment KU Leuven

Yet, so far, little is known about those in the potential additional labour force. The main aim of this project is to study the experience of this group through the notion of labour market attachment, marginal attachment in particular. We ...

Couple's labour force participation around parenthood: can differential labour market trajectories and resources account for doing gender? University of Antwerp

Karel Neels
Centre for Population, Family and Health
In recent decades, European societies witnessed an unprecedented increase in women's labour force participation. The rise of gender equity in education and labour markets has not been mirrored, however, by a similar shift of gender equity in families and households. The division of household work continues to be strongly gendered and labour force participation around parenthood shows more variation among women than men. Micro-economic theories ...
