Employment of migrant workers: case studies of selected employers in Wales and Scotland
Published on 18 June, 2009.
The study was designed to explore the experiences of employers in response to A8 migration into Scotland and Wales. The study was qualitative, comprising case studies of 52 employers. The case studies were based on interviews with managers (those with an overview of human resourcing and line managers) only. Interviews were conducted between June and October 2007. The sample was drawn to provide a range of type of employers, with differing levels of A8 migrant employment (including some with none). Thus the sample enables the study to identify a range of employers’ experiences of A8 migrants and is not a representative sample.
