In recent years, especially in some economic sectors, a pattern of permanent reliance on temporary employment of migrant workers has grown in significance across the EU. In most EU Member States, industrial relation structures and social partners struggle with problems of declining regulatory influence and deteriorating organisational capacities. Additionally, they find it extremely challenging to regulate sectoral labour markets where precarity and transnationalised vulnerability have been growing. The JUSTMIG project combines innovative research and data collection on labour market dynamics in both service and manufacturing sub-sectors across 6 EU Member States where fixed-term contracting of migrant workers occurs, and 3 candidate countries as source countries for workers.
In the frame of the project, nine policy briefs on temporary migrants working conditions and protection were published. Each of the briefs focuses on one of the countries covered by the project, namely Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Estonia, Finland, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Ukraine. The briefs provide insights into the conditions of temporary migrant workers and recommendations on how to improve their situation.
