EMN-OECD-Inform: Skills Mobility Partnerships , Date: 2022.03.07, format: report, area: Authority , Exploring innovative approaches to labour migration

How can Member States face the growing mobility of workers and skills shortages in the EU? This joint EMN-OECD inform highlights experiences by EU Member States, non-EU countries and international organisations with regards to the introduction of Skills Mobility Partnerships (SMPs) with third countries, a new concept that promotes a sustainable approach to skilled migration and mobility, with the aim to build skills for the benefit of both countries of origin and destination, but also to improve migrant's career prospects.

The analysis was prepared on the basis of contributions from 22 EMN Member States and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the European Training Foundation (ETF), the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD), the Centre for Global Development (CGD) and the association of crafts and SMEs in Europe (SME United).
