Migration: Barriers to Support and Employment

This was a paper given at the conference ‘Family Welfare & Work’- the 2009 conference in the Welfare & Work series of conferences and advisers workshops organised by the Institute of Industrial Law (IILS), Staffordshire University. Key issues in the presentation concerned the barriers to accessing labour and social rights (including family-related support) of migrant workers, including workers coming to the UK from A8 countries after May 2004.
