Continental shift: Diversity shifts are unexplored territory for many European nations

Article Abstract:

Many diversity consultants believe that diversification of workforce particularly in European nations like France biased with cultural issues might be particularly important in strengthening the continent's scientific workforce which is undergoing brain drain. Aging populations and stagnant birthrates in many nations mean an inflow of foreign students and workers is essential to keep academia and business thriving and some countries recognizing this fact have framed phase in laws banning employer discrimination on the basis of race, religion and belief, sexual orientation, age, and disability.
