Borders in Perspective Vol. 3

Borders and Cross-Border Labor Markets: Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract

The object of the current Thematic Issue is not to focus on the individuals (the cross-border commuters) but on the organization of the  cross-border labor markets. We move from a micro perspective to a macro perspective in order to underline the diversity of the cross-border labor markets (at the French borders, for example) and shed light on the many aspects that impact cross-border supply or demand. Trying to understand the whole system that goes beyond the cross-border flows, the question we address in this thematic issue is about the organization of the labor markets: is the system organized in a cross-border way? Or do the borders still prevent a genuinely integrated cross-border labor market?
