Publisher's Synopsis
Forty years of free movement of workers in Europe is an outstanding accomplishment. This collective publication will undoubtedly contribute to the analytical thinking of its path and development over these past four decades, and will help identify visible and hidden obstacles to free movement of workers which still need to be overcome.Experience has proved over the years that the existence of free movement of workers contributes effectively to meet labour and skills shortages in the Member States. Therefore, helping to increase worker mobility, and improving the functioning of European labour markets and of the internal market, could eventually contribute to economic growth.
