The shortage of skilled labor and the global competition for highly qualified employees has challenged Dutch companies to develop strategies to attract Highly Skilled Migrants (HSMs). This paper presents a study exploring how well-being is experienced by HSMs living in the Eindhoven region, a critical Dutch Tech Hub. Our population includes highly skilled women and men who moved to Eindhoven for work or to follow their partner trajectory. By analyzing data according to these four groups, we detect significant differences among HSMs. Given the exploratory nature of this work, we use a qualitative method based on semi-structured interviews. Our findings show that gender plays a crucial role in experienced well-being for almost every dimension analyzed. Using an intersectional approach, we challenge previous models of well-being, and we detect different factors that influence the respondents’ well-being when intersecting with gender. Those factors are migratory status, the reason to migrate, parenthood, and origin (EU/non-EU). When all the factors intersect, participants’ well-being decreases in several areas: career, financial satisfaction, subjective well-being, and social relationships. Significant gender differences are also found in migration strategies. Finally, we contribute to debates about skilled migration and well-being by including an intersectional perspective.

埃因霍温地区的高技能移民、性别和福祉。交叉分析

熟练劳动力的短缺和对高素质员工的全球竞争对荷兰公司制定吸引高技能移民 (HSM) 的战略提出了挑战。本文介绍了一项研究，探讨居住在埃因霍温地区（荷兰重要的技术中心）的 HSM 的幸福感。我们的人口包括因工作或跟随伴侣而搬到埃因霍温的高技能女性和男性。通过根据这四组分析数据，我们检测到 HSM 之间的显着差异。鉴于这项工作的探索性，我们使用基于半结构化访谈的定性方法。我们的研究结果表明，在分析的几乎所有维度中，性别对体验幸福感都起着至关重要的作用。使用交叉方法，我们挑战以前的幸福模型，当与性别相交时，我们检测影响受访者幸福感的不同因素。这些因素是移民身份、移民原因、父母身份和原籍（欧盟/非欧盟）。当所有因素相交时，参与者的幸福感在以下几个方面下降：职业、财务满意度、主观幸福感和社会关系。在移民战略中也发现了显着的性别差异。最后，我们通过包含一个交叉的观点来促进关于技术移民和福祉的辩论。主观幸福感和社会关系。在移民战略中也发现了显着的性别差异。最后，我们通过包含一个交叉的观点来促进关于技术移民和福祉的辩论。主观幸福感和社会关系。在移民战略中也发现了显着的性别差异。最后，我们通过包含一个交叉的观点来促进关于技术移民和福祉的辩论。
