Topic: 'The Future of Labour Market Integration in Cross-Border Regions'
The upcoming debate will delve into the future of labour market integration in cross-border regions. We'll discuss successful practices that have brought labour markets closer, such as the establishment of cooperation structures, understanding cross-border issues like taxation, social security, and qualifications, and how b-solutions have helped overcome legal and administrative issues.
The discussion will also analyse the impact of Covid fencing on cross-border labour markets and explore the opportunities that emerged amid the closure of internal borders, subsequent to decades of integration.
The event, titled 'The Future of Labour Market Integration in Cross-Border Regions', will feature an esteemed panel, including:
- Guus de Bruijn - Policy Adviser for the Internal Market and the Economy, Benelux Union
- Balázs Lengyel - Head of Sector, EURES, European Labour Authority
