Health and Social Services Among International Labor Migrants
The contributors to this volume, representing a wide variety of disciplines (including medicine, social work, political science, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and biology), are in agreement that the health and human services offered in industrial nations are generally monocultural, and not well suited for migrants from other cultures. One article even arrives at the disquieting conclusion that the mental health services offered to immigrants not only do not respond to their needs, but rather serve to reinforce negative perceptions regarding immigrants from third-world countries. This book represents a timely and urgently needed contribution to the discourse on health services for migrants. It demonstrates that the issues and problems of immigration in the United States and Europe have many commonalities, and that much can be learned from examining the experiences, successes, and failures of both.

Language Training Services for Adult Immigrants in the Nordic Countries
This report presents the results of a comparative study of language training for adult immigrants in the Nordic countries. The purpose of the study has been to compare and analyse similarities and differences across Nordic countries and immigrant sub-groups concerning eligibility to participate in language training services, motivation and goals, barriers, and the perceived benefits of language training. The study covers the perceptions of providers of language training, participating immigrants and employers in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. The study shows that while there are differences in how the Nordic countries organise and deliver both formal and non-formal language training services, the systems are largely similar. The main difference found between the countries concerns eligibility to participate. For participants, goals, barriers, and motivations are largely similar.
