European Union (EU) Ambassador Guy Ledoux said there are two million jobs available for migrants, including overseas Filino workers (OFW), amid record-high unemployment and fragile economies in Europe.
“Even as we fight unemployment there are around two million job vacancies across the EU in the fields of health, ICT, engineering, sales, and finance,” Ledoux said during a workshop on migration policies at the Asian Institute of Management on Monday.
“While emigration is not the only answer to fill skill gaps, it is certainly part of a common solution supportive of the EU’s economic growth strategy,” Ledoux explained, citing the European region’s aging population and shrinking workforce for the need to hire migrants.
