globalization and demographic changes will lead to a higher level of permanent and temporary labor migration around the world. Circular migration, the move of workers back and forth as well as on wards will become even more regular and standard than it currently is. This increases the demand for individuals with multi-ethnic identities and generates more diversity within migrant-receiving countries. Coping with increasing ethnic, cultural and religious diversity, especially in societies with either a history of conflicts between certain groups, or a strong tradition of cultural homogeneity, is not as easy task. Hence, this will also raise the important of attitudes. Observing and understanding future labor migration trends and their interactions with cultural and societal conditions is therefore a future research agenda of great importance.
