Improving the Health and Well-being of Migrants in Europe: Shaping a Comprehensive EU-Wide Strategy

20 Jul 2011

The Silken Berlaymont Hotel, Brussels. Wednesday 21st September 2011

Key speakers:

  • Dr Piroska Ostlin, Ph.D (World Health Organisation - Regional Office for Europe)
  • Roumyana Benedict (International Organization for Migration)

The latest European Commission communication on improving quality and productivity in the workplace identifies the large flow of migrants towards Europe as an increasingly complex phenomenon that must be addressed as part of a coherent EU-wide migration and integration policy framework.

Continuing our migration platform, this special international symposium, focusing on at-risk groups (such as young migrants and female workers), will seek to highlight the working conditions, safety and well-being of migrant workers in the EU. The symposium will consider these issues in the context of growing labour demands across all relevant sectors, in order to construct more effective initiatives for the integration and inclusion of the migrant working population.
