In 1988 Breman became a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. He was elected a member of Academia Europaea in 1989.

He has been known for the concept "footloose labour" in India. Footloose labour consists of those proletariats who are pushed out of agriculture labour market, hence depend on casual labour. They have to engage in multiple occupations to sustain themselves. Due to rural inequality they have to do seasonal migration to well off states such as Punjab and Haryana. This class of free wage labourers, especially after mid-1990s, are called "footloose labour". Provided by Wikipedia
