SOME ASPECTS OF THE DISCRIMINATION OF MIGRANTS IN LABOR RELATIONS

Discrimination as a global phenomenon is becoming more and more present in all areas of social life. It is a phenomenon that is relatively difficult to define and more difficult to quantify. On the other hand, the labor relations have dominant importance for quality existence of the citizens and the society as a whole. Moreover, when the aforementioned aspects are considering and analyze through the prism of migration, we face with greater challenge. In this sense, the paper will be focused on studying and analyzing the most important aspects of discrimination of migrants in labor relations. Thus, an overview of the notion and the legal framework of discrimination will be given first. At the same time, the concept of free access to the labor market will be processed, in order to determine the selective approach of the companies in the employment process. At the same time, the lack of intercultural knowledge by the employers will be emphasized, with a special focus on comparing experiences from several countries. In this context, the situation with migration will be positioned worldwide. The paper will give a concrete contribution to clarifying the future of the EU’s economic migration policy, which will need to be well based on the new reality of the regional and global context of the labor market. The calls for new approaches to the labor market policies that consider cross-border mobility, promotes more inclusive employment, increases productivity and labor market participation among all working-age groups, as well as enhances the contribution of migration for growth and competitiveness of the global economy.
