- Summary
- The research activities carried out under the umbrella of the Equal Pontest project aimed to investigate the immigration/employment market situation through a multi-disciplinary approach (economic, social, legal and educational), focusing particularly on the type of integration and working conditions of immigrant workers, on the negative and positive aspects of joining the work force and the local socio-economic network. The research began and ended in the first 6 months of 2006 and was carried out using a questionnaire and through extended interviews with immigrant workers and employers whose companies hire foreign workers. The research explored the processes of introduction and integration of foreign workers originating from central and eastern Europe into the companies and society of the province of Trentino, in northern Italy, while focusing particularly on the difficulties and opportunities generated by this migratory phenomenon.
