“…Closely related to HRM is the sixth area, industry and labour market perspectives. Papers investigated industry structure, internationalization of SMEs, wage determinants (Brandt, 2018;García-Pozo et al, 2012), mobility, and migrant workforce (Carson et al, 2014;Iversen & Jacobsen, 2016;Lundmark, 2006;Lundmark et al, 2014;Möller et al, 2014;Sollund, 2006;Thulemark et al, 2014), the use of hostels as housing solutions for migrant populations (Butler & Hannam, 2013), and risk of unemployment (Thrane, 2007).
