Luxembourg benefits from an atypical, highly efficient migration. The most recently arrived Portuguese migrants position themselves on the bottom of the socio-economic scale in the same way as their predecessors of the Salazar regime - despite their higher educational attainment. The strong north-south divide between Luxembourg and Portugal is illustrated by a number of indicators. Freedom of movement is reduced and renationalised by ECJ rulings on the initiative of northern member states against southern European crisis 'refugees'. The categories of EU citizens versus third country nationals develop into economically strong EU and non-EU migrants versus weak EU and non-EU migrants.

The authors Dr. Claudia Hartmann-Hirsch and Dr. Fofo Senyo Amétépé have worked at LISER (Luxembourg Institute of Socio-Economic Research) on migration related topics, in particular on Luxembourg's atypical migration structure. Fofo Senyo Amétépé is currently working at STATEC (Institut national de la statistique et des études économiques du Grand-Duché de Luxembourg).

This book is a translation of an original German edition. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation.
