Description
This grant supports research into the long-term social and economic implications of EU labour mobility for both sending and receiving regions. Projects are expected to provide data-driven insights into the effects of worker mobility on wages, fiscal budgets, social systems, and regional development across the EU. The research should also address impacts on networks, skills transfer, income distribution, and demographic variations, considering links to the green and digital transitions. Comparative studies with other world regions, the development of economic models and forecasting tools, and evidence-based assessments of policy instruments are encouraged. The ultimate goal is to generate actionable recommendations for policy, modernise legal and institutional frameworks, and ensure social fairness and competitiveness within the EU.
