Europe is dealing with the growing challenges of globalisation, rapid technological change and a developing knowledge society; maintaining employment and social cohesion is a further challenge. The Lisbon agenda seeks to meet these challenges by making Europe a more competitive, flexible and adaptable economy. Greater labour mobility between regions and between jobs is a crucial element in this.

Mobility in Europe

This report sets out a descriptive analysis of the data collected by the Eurobarometer Survey (2005). It examines two key areas of enquiry: geographical mobility and job mobility. Mobility appears to be not always the result of individual choices. Indeed, mobility, particularly job mobility, is often found to be a characteristic of the more vulnerable groups in society. The analysis also shows that mobility-related decisions are the result of important and often difficult trade-offs. People attracted by the idea of making a long-distance move report that they fear the loss of contact and support from family and relatives. It would also appear that what is good for the EU as a whole – greater overall levels of mobility – is not necessarily reflected in how individuals feel about mobility in their own lives.
