The aim of this panel is to discuss the socio-economic driving forces as well as consequences of labour migration within Europe from the receiving country perspective as well as the sending country perspective. Based on the existing legal frameworks for labour migration and their impacts on national labour markets the following papers assess the causes and reactions for economy and labour in Europe.

Based on specific country as well as sector specific studies, the papers presented in this panel will critically analyse the causes and implications of labour migration for National Member States as well as the process of Europeanization with a specific focus on industrial relations.
