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 />
