EU's Labour Dilemma: Finding Balance Between Local and Migrant Workers conference will take place on 5th December 2024 in Mövenpick hotel Tallinn. The joint conference by EMN Estonia and IOM Estonia will address labour shortages in the EU, offering a platform to share challenges, good practices, and success stories from Member States. It will explore how labour market policies have adapted to economic needs and skills shortages, assess the effectiveness of EU internal mobility, and examine the need for foreign labour. The conference will also discuss the strategies required to attract and integrate skilled workers from outside of the EU while focusing on the development of skills mobility partnerships with third countries, offering insights into sustainable strategies to balance local labour demands while remaining competitive and attractive to migrant workers.
Fragomen Senior Manager, Fatima Aydin, will be speaking as a panelist during the National strategies and effective labour policies session. This panel discussion will examine how different EU Member States are addressing labour market shortages through foreign labour policies and national strategies. It will also explore approaches to maximizing the potential of talent already within the country, such as strategies for talent retention and creating pathways for foreign students, interns and others to stay and engage in the labour market.
