Annual report on intra-EU labour mobility 2021

The annual report on intra-EU labour mobility provides updated information on labour mobility trends in EU and EFTA countries based on 2019/2020 data. The analysis considers the mobility of all working age EU citizens (20-64 years) as well as the mobility of the EU citizens in this age group who are active (employed and unemployed). Each annual report also covers special topics associated with intra-EU labour mobility, according to current developments and policy needs. This 2021 edition focuses on intra-EU professional mobility in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, on the one hand, and, on the other, the return mobility of mobile European citizens. In addition, recent developments in intra-EU mobility are examined throughout the report, such as the withdrawal of the UK from the EU in early 2020. Chapter 1 analyses trends in the mobility of EU citizens in EU and EFTA countries while Chapter 2 focuses on socio-economic characteristics of EU mobile workers. Chapter 3 analyses the most recent developments of intra-EU mobility in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Chapter 4 examines the return mobility of EU mobile citizens.
