ILO Research Webinar – Temporary Labour Migration in Europe

This research webinar will present the preliminary findings of the Research Project ‘European Birds of Passage – An Empirical Legal Theory of Temporary Labour Migration in Europe’ (European Research Council Starting Grant, 2022-2027) which examines how European Union law and national frameworks shape social rights and perceptions of temporary migrant workers. Led by Marco Rocca and hosted at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), the project combines systematic analysis of legal documents with quantitative and qualitative approaches to understand how EU law interacts with the fundamental concepts underpinning temporary labour migration, such as the border of the labour market and notions of “temporariness”.
