Post-Enlargement Migration and the Great Recession in the E(M)U: Lessons and policy implications
This paper summarises key results from our research about
post-enlargement mobility in the EU. We clarify its scope, composition
and effects; labour market situation of mobile workers; the role of
labour mobility as a vehicle of economic stabilisation; as well as brain
circulation and return migration. We also outline a policy agenda for a
labour mobility model for a vibrant EU, enabling Europe to cope with
labour market imbalances and asymmetric economic shocks, and providing
for a more prosperous, cohesive and equal EU.
