Labour Movement Inside EU After The Eastern Enlargement

After EU eastern Enlargement, people predict that the income gap between old and new member states will lead to extensive workforce flows from east to west. This kind of flow will assault the labour market of old member states seriously, cause the workforces of new member states to be scarce. However, this situation which people worry about is not happened in 3 years after EU Enlargement. This article will research this situations form politics and economics.The labour movement plays a very important role in market economy. Because the function of any market all lie in promoting the realization of the exchange voluntarily, the society relies on labourer's free movement among employers to flow to reach the workforce disposition, it can make the full feet of workers and consumers get effecting maximize at the same time. Workers, no matter reality or potential one, work, move from low salary to high salary work, force those employer pay low salary less than balanced level rise wage level. However, the movements need consider cost. The workers must spend regular hour searching the information related to the salary that the employer may offer and condition of work everywhere. To a lot of workers, only if quit the present work at first, then their job searching are efficient (while especially wanting to move to another one area). The workers must not merely face the monetary cost that the corresponding environment shift, and they will face the corresponding psychological cost.Through the 10 years preparation and 4 years negotiations, EU eastern enlargement became reality at last on May 1, 2004: Poland, Hungary, Czech, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Malta and Cyprus, 10 countries in Eastern Europe joined European Union. EU member states are expanded to 25 countries form present 15 countries. European Union north extend to Arctic Ocean, south reaches to the Mediterranean, reaches the Atlantic Ocean in the west, reaches the Black Sea in the east. Through the eastern enlargement, EU turn from one typical the north-north national union into a north-south national union, its internal cooperation in economy and trade and factors market have faced greater challenges. "It is not a end that 10 countries of European Union join, but only a beginning." As the most important labour link in the production process, has been the focal point that people have paid close attention to all the time for a long time. Until European Union expand eastward, labour market of old and new member state how integrate? Will present" immigrant's tide " that former member states worry aboutThe objective of this paper is to analyze the economic consequences of east-west migration in the context of the EU Eastern enlargement. Although only a few of the EU-15 member states have already opened their labor markets to workers from the NMS, there has been a substantial increase in east-west migration following the 2004 enlargement round. The total number of migrants from the new member states residing in the EU-15 will increase further when the transitional periods for the free movement expire. Based on reasonable assumptions on the future development of east-west migration, this paper analyzes the impact of migration on production, the distribution of factor income, and employment in both the sending and receiving countries of the enlarged EU. The analysis is based on a simple, highly stylized equilibrium model that considers wage rigidities and unemployment in order to frame the features of European labor markets.
