3 I. Intra-EU labour mobility

4 Free Movement of Persons in the EU Art 21 TFEU gives all EU CITIZENS the right to move and reside freely, including non-active persons, pensioners, students (subject to restrictions in secondary legislation) Free Movement of Workers (Art 45 TFEU) EMPLOYED plus family members Freedom of Establishment (Article 49 TFEU) SELF- EMPLOYED plus family members Freedom to Provide Services (Article 56 TFEU) POSTED WORKERS

8 II. EU rules on free movement

9 The main legal instruments Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) Regulation (EU) No 492/2011 on freedom of movement for workers Directive 2004/38/EC on the right of EU citizens to move and reside freely in the territory of the Member States Directive 54/2014 on the enforcement of rights

10 The concept of a migrant worker Cross-border element: nationals of one EU Member State who leave their country of origin and go to work to another Member State; not persons who have never left their country of origin Also: migrants who return after having exercised their right to free movement Worker: person who (i) undertakes genuine and effective work (ii) under the direction of someone else (iii) for which he is paid (Case C-66/85 Lawrie-Blum).

11 EU citizens can: look for a job in another EU country work there without needing a work permit reside there for that purpose stay there after employment has finished enjoy equal treatment with nationals in access to employment, working conditions and all other social and tax advantages As workers be joined by family members who have derived rights

12 III. EURES network 1. EU framework for practical cooperation 2. EURES portal and its features to help individuals with matching cross borders

13 EURES Regulation Regulation (EU) 2016/589, in force since May 2016 aims to build a stronger network of European employment services at EU level that delivers more efficient labour market information exchange and more matching across borders in the EU/EEA, in support of the internal market Enhanced transparency: more jobs advertised; Online skills-based matching: JV CV; Reinforced scope: more service providers; An agreed minimum package of services for job seekers and employers in all MS

14 What does EURES do?

19 IV. Social service workforce; some data and experiences 1. Findings 2014 study DG EMPL 2. Some data on demand and supply from EURES Portal 3. Informal feedback from EURES network on experiences

20 Latest figures? Findings 2014 study Number of workers in health and social services has increased steadily , including during the economic crises The workforce is mainly female (78% of the sector), with 80% of newly created jobs occupied by women Part-time work is more common in this sector than the whole economy and the share increased during the economic crisis Ageing of the population is the key driver of the demand, together with the increased demand for complex needs there is pressure on public finances

21 EURES portal data (1) (JV) Job vacancies published on EURES portal at (main reporting PES) Care related occupations All countries Germany UK SE FR BE CZ All occupations

22 EURES portal data (2) (CV) Total number of CVs for main care occupations and main concerned countries of residence IT ES HR FR PL 22 Health professionals 53 Personal care workers All occupations

23 EURES portal data (3) CV compared to corresponding JV 5.00% 4.50% 4.00% 3.50% 3.00% 2.50% 2.00% 22 Health professionals 53 Personal care workers All occupations 1.50% 1.00% 0.50% 0.00% IT ES HR FR PL

24 EURES feedback Diversity: many kinds of activities and service users often with complex needs (youth, elderly people, mentally disabled, addicts) including nonmedical care Many (reported or hidden) labour shortages and often vacancies are not filled (increased need in geriatric care; issues with subsidies) Possible barriers to mobility: at VET level recognition is an issue; retraining is often for hospitals and institutions to fulfil national administrative requirements Transnational placement is considered very difficult and there are few experiences with successful EURES projects: in practice jobseekers who are qualified in one country are likely to start on a lower level in another country or need additional training to become qualified. Since the jobs require interaction with the client, language knowledge is crucial. Part time work, work conditions, salary levels make mobility often less attractive.
