摘要:This study gives an overview of labor market developments in Central, Eastern and Southeastern
European (CESEE) EU Member States since their accession to the EU. By using data on
net migration rates, the study also sheds light on the question whether migration in the aftermath
of the EU enlargement has caused labor shortages and rising wage pressure in the
region. The study finds virtually no evidence for this proposition. Net migration has been
rather contained since 2004, with most of the countries actually showing higher immigration
than emigration
