About the book

This volume draws on extensive original data collected across the Link4Skills consortium and its sister Horizon Europe projects GS4S and Skills4Justice, spanning at least 15 countries of origin and 15 destination countries. Its three parts move from conceptual and policy frameworks — migration skill corridors, skills mobility partnerships, ethical recruitment — through richly detailed empirical case studies covering Ghana, Germany, the Philippines, Canada, Ukraine, Poland, Morocco, and India, to the frontier questions of skill recognition, optimum allocation, and AI-assisted decision support for fair migration.

Together, the contributing authors — researchers, practitioners, and policymakers from four continents — build a coherent and ambitious case: that shared development, social inclusion, and economic resilience are achievable goals, not idealistic ones.

Edited by Link4Skills project coordinator Izabela Grabowska (Kozminski University, Warsaw) and consortium partner Mary Boatemaa Setrana (University of Ghana), the book is freely available to read and download.
