Cross-border work in EU and EFTA countries

The report "Cross-border work in EU and EFTA countries" by DG EMPL examines cross-border flows between NUTS-1 regions in the EU and EFTA. The analysis identifies the main regions of destination for cross-border commuters as well as the key regions of origin for these workers. It then looks in more detail at the flows of workers between bordering and non-bordering regions in EU and EFTA countries.

Main results indicate that:

• Switzerland is the primary destination for cross-border work with Luxembourg following close
• France is the principal country of origin
• Prominent flows between bordering regions are persistent over time and include the Greater Region, Upper Rhine Region, Italo-Swiss and Italy-Franco borders, Centrope area, and Meuse-Rhine region.
