By Yvette van Pol and Lissa Vroomen

in the health care sector in European countries
 2. Find solutions that are discussed in
policy and research

 3. How could people with a migration
background be supported to work in the
health care sector?

have.
NGOs can help with that
There are a couple of laws that block the opportunity for migrant to get a job
Higher social assistance benefits lead to weaker incentives to find a job.
Governmenst should have more attention or migrants to get civic integration
courses.
Conclusion: its not only a social problem as we used to say, but the laws have a
big influence of the chance for migrants in the labour market in health care sector.

 Project C
How can your findings be linked to the ASH IBBC project?

Higher education
In the IBBC project they get more knowledge about what the job really
is. This can lead to more students who go study nursing.
Migrants get education, so they have more chance to apply, because
theyll happy with every job, even if its underpaid.
