- The document analyzes data on high-skilled foreign-born workers in the Massachusetts labor force, comparing those with U.S. degrees versus foreign degrees. Key findings include: half have U.S. degrees and half have foreign degrees, with those with foreign degrees more likely to hold graduate degrees and be older. The top countries of origin vary between the two groups. Limited English proficiency is more common among those with foreign degrees.
The document provides an overview of high-skilled immigrant workers in the Massachusetts civilian labor force. It finds that immigrants now make up 17.7% of the state's workforce, with foreign-born workers almost doubling in number between 1990 and 2010. Around 37.7% of foreign-born workers in Massachusetts are high-skilled. The majority of high-skilled immigrant workers have at least a bachelor's degree and are concentrated in a few counties and occupations. Nearly 80% of high-skilled immigrant workers are white or Asian.
The document is a report by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) Research Division on high-skilled immigrants in the Massachusetts civilian labor force. Some key points:
- Immigrants accounted for 17.9% of the Massachusetts workforce in 2010, up from 10.2% in 1990. Foreign-born workers almost doubled in number over this period.
- In 2011, there were 580,000 foreign-born workers in the Massachusetts workforce, accounting for 17.7% of the total. High-skilled workers made up 42.4% of the state's workforce, with 15.8% of high-skilled workers being foreign-born.

To succeed in today’s society, rich on information and knowledge, students and teachers must use the modern technology effectively. The education should help students to develop the competencies, necessary for the successful life and work in the 21st century.
Key competencies of the future are:
critical thinking,
creativity,
problem solving,
communication
and collaboration.
To become an innovative school means to start changing the pedagogic paradigm on all the levels of management as well as with the entire teaching staff with the goal that its agents become more innovative. In the article, the project “Innovative Pedagogy in the Light of the 21st Century Competencies” issued by the Ministry of Education is presented. Its dominant goal is to systematically develop the 1:1 pedagogy implementation (http://www.education.qld.gov.au/smartclassrooms) and all the accompanying e-services, as for instance the e-portfolio, distance learning “Innovative Pedagogy Node”, the development of the implementing curricula with the integration of ICT, didactic trainings for different agents, and the development of the good practice criteria.
This document summarizes a report by the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA) Research Division on high-skilled foreign-born workers in the medical industry in Massachusetts. It finds that 12.4% of medical workers in the state are foreign-born and highly educated. The largest shares come from India, China, and Canada. Over half are between ages 25-44, and 58% are female.

- Over 40% of Boston Public School students speak a language other than English at home.
- The neighborhoods with the highest percentage of foreign-born residents are East Boston
Immigrants make up about 7% of Minnesota's population and are an important part of the state and local economy. In Saint Paul specifically, 17.9% of residents are foreign-born. Immigrants fill important roles as workers, entrepreneurs, consumers, and taxpayers. While they have some short-term costs, studies show their long-term economic benefits to Minnesota outweigh these costs. Immigrant contributions include working in sectors with labor shortages, starting small businesses, spending in the local economy, paying taxes, and bringing important skills and networks that support economic growth.
The document describes the Labor Market Assessment Tool (LMAT), which was developed by the Boston Redevelopment Authority and others to analyze occupational and industry trends in the Greater Boston labor market.

- The LEP population in MA grew by 20% between 2000-2012, with higher growth rates in some metro areas like Greater Boston and Worcester.
- LEP workers in MA earn 25-40% less than English proficient workers and are more likely to be in poverty.
- LEP workers are concentrated in low-paying occupations and industries like construction, food service, and childcare.
- The early education and childcare workforce in MA, which grew significantly in recent decades, includes many LEP immigrants at lower wage levels.
- Projections estimate continued growth in
The document discusses labor market integration of Boston's foreign-born workforce. It finds that between 2000 and 2006, Metro Boston's foreign-born workforce increased by almost 94,000 people (32%) and the workforce with limited English skills increased by 37%. However, 18% of the foreign-born workforce has less than a high school education compared to 6% of the native-born, and close to half of new jobs created will require at least modest English skills. Additional investment in ESOL could help more foreign-born workers gain higher-skilled, higher-paying jobs and boost the regional economy.
The document summarizes a presentation given by Alvaro Lima of the Boston Redevelopment Authority about the labor market integration of Boston's foreign-born population. It finds that between 2000 and 2006, the foreign-born workforce in Metro Boston increased by 94,000 people, while the number of workers with limited English skills grew from 55,000 to 88,000. It also notes disparities in educational attainment and wages between native and foreign-born workers, and projects that future job growth will require higher language skills, emphasizing the need to reduce long waitlists for English language classes.
This document analyzes workforce trends in the Boston metro area between 2000-2006 and 2004-2014. It finds that the foreign-born and limited English proficiency (LEP) populations grew significantly faster than the overall workforce between 2000-2006. Additionally, the vast majority of new jobs created between 2004-2014 will require at least moderate English skills, whereas growth in low-skill jobs will be limited. This underscores both economic challenges around human capital for the region and quality of life challenges for the growing LEP population.
Extending In-State Tuition to Undocumented ImmigrantsRobert Stromberg
Policy Analysis of North Carolina House Bill 1183
Over the past five years, ten states have implemented legislation extending in-state tuition rates to undocumented immigrants. While the policies have experienced low participation rates and been subject to legal challenge, they remain a valid alternative in the void created by lack of federal action regarding this growing segment of the United States population. Introduced in April 2005, North Carolina House Bill 1183 (HB1183) proposed offering in-state tuition rates within the UNC and North Carolina Community College systems to those undocumented immigrants meeting specified good-faith eligibility requirements.
This analysis projects the initial program participation to be 432 students (0.4 percent of the total university and community college population) and recommends implementation based on projected net social benefits of $118,208 in the first program year. Projected net social benefits for a five-year analysis period (2007-2011) are $800,167. In addition, substantial secondary benefits of personal income ($2.8 billion) and state tax revenue ($197 million) would be realized should HB1183 or similar legislation be passed and signed into law.

The document discusses the history of immigration and citizenship laws in the United States from the 18th century to present day. It notes that early laws only granted citizenship to "free white persons" and that various laws throughout American history placed restrictions on immigrants from Asia and Latin America. While some policies tried to encourage European immigration, others essentially banned immigration from China and criminalized Mexican migrant workers. The document argues that current policies under Biden have not meaningfully addressed the root causes of migration and have continued harsh enforcement approaches.
O documento discute as migrações transnacionais e como elas desafiam as perspectivas tradicionais sobre migração.

O documento também discute como as políticas migratórias precisam reconhecer e apoiar essas realidades transnacionais.
This document introduces a research agenda on transnational social protection (TSP). It argues that traditional theories of social welfare and migration have focused too narrowly on nation-states and fail to account for how people living transnational lives obtain social protections that cross borders. The document defines TSP as protections for people on the move that come from multiple nation-states, as well as non-state actors. It introduces the concept of a "resource environment" to map sources of TSP over time, space, and among individuals. Several empirical examples are provided to illustrate TSP dynamics. The research agenda aims to advance understanding of emerging TSP arrangements and their implications.
This document discusses transnational social protection in a world where more people live outside their country of citizenship. It defines transnational social protection as policies, programs, and institutions that provide social protections like healthcare, education, unemployment benefits, etc. in a transnational way. Individuals piece together resources from states, markets, NGOs, and social networks across borders. While some gain new protections, inequality is redistributed rather than eliminated as rights, residence and citizenship are decoupled from each other and the nation state. New policies are needed that address this mobile world where people live outside their home countries.

This report provides data on gender in Boston broken down into several categories:
- Females make up 52% of Boston's population but 57.3% of seniors. They are slightly more likely to be black or Hispanic.
- Younger women are more educated - 47.6% of women 18-64 have a bachelor's degree vs 43.6% of men.
- Though the gender gap is closing, men still earn more - the median for employed men is $50,930 vs $41,813 for women.
Boston's immigrant labor force makes up nearly 30% of the city's total labor force. While immigrants traditionally came from Europe, current immigrants are more likely to come from Latin America, the Caribbean, and Asia. Over 70% of immigrants in Boston's labor force arrived since 1990. Less than half are naturalized citizens, and about half speak English proficiently. Compared to native-born workers, immigrants are more likely to be older, less educated, and from non-white racial groups. The report examines the socioeconomic characteristics and labor market integration of these immigrant workers.
