Preface
Six years after the publication of our last book EU Labor Markets after PostEnlargement Migration, the evidence on the challenges and benefits of free labor mobility is still incomplete and strongly debated. The Great Recession around 2009 has significantly complicated evaluating the enlargement process outcomes thus far. It has at the same time offered an ultimate test regarding labor mobility’s role as a vehicle of adjustment during economic turbulences. Reliable academic evidence points out that a more open world has brought large advantages to both migrants and the respective host and receiving countries. However, we have also seen rising political resistance in member states against mobility of both workers and nonworkers originating from other EU member states. To meet the challenge and to extend the body of reliable knowledge, IZA has continued to operate the subarea “EU Enlargement and the Labor Markets” in its larger migration research program. A series of workshops and events in Bonn, Berlin, Bratislava, Bucharest, Budapest, Riga, Krakow, and Warsaw has continuously brought together a devoted team of experts to discuss fresh data, new analytical evidence, and policy implications.
