Skills, administration and age management: A call for institutional arrangements for new migrants arriving in Europe

Summary/Abstract: Migration to the European Union from African and Asian countries are one ofthe key issues of the political and economic agenda of the second decade in the 21stcentury. This paper studies the proposals concerning tools in the scope of skills, administrationand age management, which will grant to newcomers the appropriate incentivesneeded for action. Erroneous institutions may lead to misguided incentives,rent seeking and migrants chasing unproductive activities, which in turn does notlead to the construction of a market economy. We posit that migration into Europeshould be subject to programmes coordinated at the European level. Military actioncannot stop the infiltration of millions more, which in turn means that managing thenew arrivals should be coordinated at the EU level, and the tools of administration,skills management and age management should be actively used in selecting, includinginto the labour market and activating the job potential of migrants.
