Abstract: The Trade Policy Review also specifies areas and actions that are critical to achieving the EU’s objectives in the medium term. One of the headline actions is to support an informed discussion on trade policy by inter-alia conducting analytical work on the impact of trade policies on employment. Against this background, DG TRADE and the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre (JRC) have prepared a new updated version of two published studies in 2015 and 2018 based for the first time on reliable and comparable official statistics to understand how global trade flows affect employment in the EU. This report illustrates in detail the relationship between trade and employment for the EU as a whole and for each EU Member State, using the recently released Eurostat’s FIGARO database, jointly compiled by Eurostat and JRC. Furthermore, the analysis will complement this information with detailed data on employment by industry, skill and gender using other complementary employment statistics. All indicators relate to EU exports to the world to reflect the scope of EU external trade policymaking.
