European Migration in Times of Crisis • Return migration within EU • Additional incentives by EU governments for non-EU migrants to go back • Fewer remittances • Are we loosing people with talent and skills that we will soon need again?
European Migration in Times of Crisis • So far: More men than women have lost their jobs • In certain sectors and regions: growth of unemployment quicker among native-born than among foreign-born workers • Rigidities of the labour markets • Rigidities of the housing markets

Who Does Best in Migration Policy? • Traditional immigration countries as a bench mark • UK • Sweden • Do we need joint action at EU level
What Do We Need? • Smart migration policies • A truly open single EU labour market • The willingness and ability to make use of talents and skills of future migrants • Better integration
