The European Labour Market - Success Through Flexibility and Mobility

by Wido Geis

Volume 2: Jobs without Frontiers: The Potential of the Single European Labour Market

The second volume of the series deals with employee mobility in Europe and with the question of how it has developed over the last few crisis-wrought years. Dr Wido Geis analyses the factors that can support or hinder the decision to move to another country to take up a job. He illustrates reform measures to increase mobility and explains the impact that they can be expected to have.
