DESCRIPTION

In this article, the authors focus on the specific case of posting to Austria.

The authors address the research questions with analyses of EU and national level policies, use administrative data on posting, and individual-level data based on interviews with posted workers and public authorities. The article published by the International Journal of Sociology and Social Policy is based on research conducted in the frame of the Posting.STAT and SMUG projects. Read the article here!
