<strong>THIRD</strong> <strong>EUROPEAN</strong> <strong>JOB</strong> <strong>MOBILITY</strong> <strong>DAY</strong><br />

Brussels<br />

13 November 2012<br />

CONFERENCE PROGRAMME


Employment, Social Affairs & Inclusion<br />

Third European Job Mobility Day – 13 November 2012<br />

Third European Job Mobility Day<br />

Brussels 13 November 2012<br />

Now in its third year, the European Job Mobility Day brings together policy makers,<br />

academics and practitioners to participate in discussions on key issues relating to<br />

labour mobility.<br />

The conference will include presentation of the findings of the third Mobility in Europe<br />

report which will be published by DG Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion at the<br />

end of the year.<br />

The programme for the day will include an overview of the main features of the labour<br />

market in the different EU Member States and the developments over the recent past<br />

which set the context for mobility, with a focus on the impact of the on-going<br />

economic crisis on job opportunities around Europe, on the nature of the jobs being<br />

lost and created and on the sections of the work force that have been most affected.<br />

An entire session will be devoted to young people as the most exposed group to the<br />

crisis and low rate of new job creation. Presentations will include an analysis of the<br />

prevailing situation in different parts of Europe (including the very first investigation of<br />

the results of the Labour Force Survey ad hoc module on the entry of young people<br />

into the labour market) and case studies of selected countries with very different<br />

experiences of youth unemployment – those which have seen a dramatic increase and<br />

those which have managed to keep it in check – focusing on the policies adopted to<br />

help young people make the transition from education and training into work.<br />

Interpretation will be available in English, French and German.<br />
