The document discusses labor mobility in the European Union following the 2004 and 2007 enlargements. It analyzes migration flows between newer EU member states (EU-8 and EU-2) and older member states (EU-15), finding that over 1 million people from EU-8 countries and over 400,000 from EU-2 countries migrated to EU-15 states. The document also examines the impact of this increased labor mobility on host and home economies, though the effects varied between countries based on the size of migration flows relative to population. Descriptive statistics and three figures are presented on migration stocks between the EU regions from 2003-2009.

2. Mobility of labor
Labor mobility or worker mobility is the geographical and
occupational movement of workers.
Worker mobility is best gauged by the lack of impediments to such
mobility.
Incresing and maintaing a high level of labor mobility allows a more
efficient allocation of resources.
The main focus of this study is an assessment of the macro-
economic impact on both host and home countries of the increased
labor mobility.
3. Labor

Something produced by task/work

7. Executive Summary
The main focus of this study is an assessment of the macro-
economic impact on both host and home countries of the
increased labour mobility.
For instant, we look at the macro-economic impact of the
total population flows from the EU-8 and EU-2 to the EU-15
economies between 2004 and 2009. In both cases we restrain
our analysis of the receiving countries to the impact on the
EU-15 economies. Population flows from the EU-2 to the EU-
10 economies have been small in magnitude, and data
availability is sporadic, and for this reason these flows are
excluded from the simulation studies. The aggregate
population flows to theEU-15 are adjusted to reflect the age
structure and education level of the mobile population.
8. Our estimates suggest that since the 2004 enlargement, about
1.8 per cent of the EU-8 population has moved to the EU-15,
raising the host country population by 0.4 per cent. Of this,
approximately 75 per cent can be attributed to the
enlargement process itself, while the remaining 25 per cent of
the population shifts are likely to have occurred even in the
absence of enlargement. Since 2007, about 4.1 per cent of the
EU-2 population has moved to the EU-15, raising the host
country population by a further 0.3 per cent. Of this, just over
50 per cent can be attributed to the enlargement process
itself.
The macro-economic impact on individual countries within
each of the regions depends on the magnitude of
emigration/immigration that has occurred relative to the size
of the domestic population.
9. Descriptive
StatisticsThe EU enlargement has resulted in a substantial increase in labour
mobility. More than 99 percent of migration flows between the
newer and older member states have been East-West migration
flows from EU-8+2 to EU-15 countries. Although many EU-15
members have applied transitional restrictions on access to their
labour markets by EU-8+2 migrants, the stock of EU-8+2 nationals
residing in EU-15countries tripled over the period 2003-2009,
increasing from about 1.6 million in 2003 to about 4.8 million in
2009. The share of West-East migration has remained marginal, at
much below 1 per cent and has not shown any monotonic trend
overtime. Figure :01 shows stocks of EU-8+2 nationals in EU-15
countries, stocks of EU-2 nationals in EU-10 countries and stocks of
EU-15 nationals in EU-8+2 countries.
