After an introduction of the role and mandate of the European Labour Authority, its priorities for 2021-2022 and operational activities, the two distinguished panellists jointly assessed some broader trends in European labour markets, their imbalances, sector-specific challenges and recurring problems. The focus was on the implications of all this for labour mobility within the EU and beyond. In how far could enhanced intra-EU mobility, a targeted upskilling effort and the contribution of third-country nationals contribute to tackling existing and forthcoming skills shortages? What about the situation of particular mobile groups, i.e. posted, seasonal, tele or care workers, commuting across borders? The Talk also looked at the operational aspects of ELA’s & ICMPD’s work.
This event targeted the migration authorities, Ministries of Labour and Social Affairs, as well as the public employment services of the PP states.
