Abstract

Although employers are attracting increasing attention as actors influencing international labour migration, migration studies do not offer a theoretical framework for researching their multi-level influence in this field. Moreover, studies typically focus on employers' actions, especially in policymaking, and do not examine their broadly conceived interests, which sometimes influence labour migration without the employers' active involvement. This article adapts neo-institutionalist concepts, particularly the concept of the institutional environment, and offers a comprehensive theoretical framework for studying employers' interests in labour migration.
