“Labour Market” - Labour market move possibilities across borders in Europe
General description of the project
Border regions along external borders are facing a lot of new challenges and opportunities through the EU-enlargement. Also changes in the labour market situation and the labour mobility are questions that are associated with the European Integration process and which the border regions have to deal with. However, a lot needs to be done to explore new opportunities and to develop a functioning cross-border labour market at external borders, where often very little information is available about the employment opportunities, working conditions or legal requirements at the other side of the border.
The partnership – consisting of three partner regions with different experience in implementing cross-border labour markets – seeks to analyse the cross-border labour market trends and developments in particular at EU-external borders with the aim to identify barriers and opportunities. Furthermore, the partnership intends to raise awareness for and inform about the labour market possibilities on the other side of the border and thus hopes to stimulate cross-border cooperation and employment opportunities especially for young people.
