Post-enlargement emigration and new EU members' labor markets

Anzelika Zaiceva

World of Labour, 2014, No 40, 40

Abstract: The recent EU enlargements into Central and Eastern Europe and increased labor mobility within the Union provide a unique opportunity to evaluate the labor market effects of emigration. Outmigration has contributed to higher wages for stayers, as well as to lower unemployment in the source country. However, emigration has also exacerbated skills shortages in some sectors, as well as mismatches between skills and jobs.
