Employment barriers in border regions: Strategies and EU funding

Summary:

This study draws primarily on available literature, as well as on information gathered from interviews to examine barriers to employment in border regions.

The study first outlines cross-border labour mobility trends and drivers. It then looks at barriers to cross-border labour mobility before assessing measures - including legislation, key programmes and initiatives, and funding structures - adopted at EU-level to address them. The study concludes by presenting a series of recommendations on ways to facilitate cross-border labour mobility going forward.
