| Abstract: | This Master thesis deals with labour mobility and a ims to uncover the main drivers influencing the flows of workers within the Europea n Union (EU). It first provides an extensive overview of labour market, labour mobilit y and legal framework in the EU. Then it discusses several theories and models dealing with labour mobility. The main part of this thesis consists in empirical analysis of labour flo ws within EU-25 countries. This analysis is meant to provide statistical evidence of relevant m obility drivers. Contrarily to similar works, this thesis takes into account not only economic an d financial factors, but also social, psychological, linguistic and other non-tangible fa ctors that might play important role in determining the labour flows within the EU. The the sis further focuses on specific mobility incentives of the Old and the New Member States. Ba sed on results of the empirical model and the regression analysis, the thesis concludes b y discussing the limits of labour mobility and suggesting a remedy aimed at enhancing it. |
