Abstract:
The purpose of the current brief is to provide first results on the link between employment and international trade ahead of a more comprehensive package that DG TRADE and JRC are preparing for an event in Autumn 2021 with the participation of DGs and Commissioners. EU exports supported almost 38 million jobs in the EU in 2019, up from 29 million in 2010. In 2019, 18% of the total EU employment were directly or indirectly linked to EU exports to non-EU countries, up by 3 p.p. from almost 15% in 2010. The labour productivity related to extra-EU exports increased by 17% from 2010 to 2019, similar to the whole EU economy for the same period.
