- Summary
- Three groups of workers are focused on. The first two categories, temporary agency work and posted work, have gained in quantitative importance during the last decade across Europe. Data for temporary agency workers is available (annex 1 and 2) allowing us to track the phenomenon whereas data on the number of workers posted to or from a particular country is almost impossible to find in any Member State. The third category covered here, migrant workers, is a rather heterogeneous one. The briefing will therefore focus on the cross-border dimension, that is to say on those with a recent labour migration experience (i.e. not second or third generation migrants), on those from outside the EU and on other issues identified as challenges in the case studies prepared by project partners
