Cross-border Labour Markets
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Ursula Mense-Petermann (Bielefeld University) Co-Speaker: Prof. Karen Shire, Ph.D. (University of Duisburg-Essen)
Cross-border labour mobility and migration have developed into key issues within globalization research. Remarkably, however, ‘cross-border labour markets’ have not yet been addressed as a phenomenon sui generis in this context. Global structures and dynamics are largely scrutinized as factors impacting national labour markets, and the terms ‘emigration’ and ‘immigration’ that dominate the relevant literature underscore this focus on national labour markets as units of analysis.
