Selected by Princeton University as Noteworthy Book in
Industrial Relations and Labor Economics for 2010.
Are immigrants from the new EU member states a threat to the
Western welfare state? Do they take jobs away from the natives? And
will the source countries suffer from severe brain drain or
demographic instability? In a timely and unprecedented
contribution, this book integrates what is known about
post-enlargement migration and its effects on EU labor markets.
Based on rigorous analysis and hard data, it makes a convincing
case that there is no evidence that the post-enlargement labor
migrants would on aggregate displace native workers or lower their
wages, or that they would be more dependent on welfare. While brain
drain may be a concern in the source countries, the anticipated
brain circulation between EU member states may in fact help to
solve their demographic and economic problems, and improve the
allocative efficiency in the EU. The lesson is clear: free
migration is a solution rather than a foe for labor market woes and
cash-strapped social security systems in the EU.
