DPP faculty Martin Kahanec gives a lecture at a European Migration Network workshop „Migration Globally and Locally“ on “Social and labor market inclusion of migrants: Myths and veracities in the EU”.The workshop took place on August 20–23, 2012, in Bratislava.

The workshop dealt with various aspects of migration as a global phenomenon, addressing the challenges of migration policy in national, EU and global contexts. In his lecture Martin Kahanec pointed out, that „the European discourse about migration is way too often misinformed and based on myths such as immigrant abuse of welfare or magnet effects of welfare generosity on migration flows; whereas in reality the true challenge lies in enabling migrants access welfare benefits and services and managing flows of labor migrants in line with countries' labor market needs.“
