Intra-EU Labour Migration : Flows, Effects and Policy Responses

This working paper is an update of the 2009/3 ETUI Working Paper that was itself an abridged and revised version of the introductory chapter of the book EU Labour Migration since Enlargement: Trends, Impacts and Policies. The book, published by Ashgate in May 2009, was edited by the present authors. This updated working paper focuses on the effects of the crisis on intra-EU labour mobility. It is based mostly on recent employment and population data from the European Labour Force Survey while also drawing on some material from an upcoming book to be published by the authors at Ashgate
