Summary

More than 1 million immigrants come to the European Union each year, more than to any single OECD destination country. The number of people born outside Europe living in the EU rose faster in the 2000s than in the previous decade. The European Union is facing impending skills shortages in a number of areas and Member States, but labour migration has only been a fraction of total migration, and the share of migrants with high levels of skills and qualifications is smaller than in many other OECD destinations, despite recent improvements. Individual EU Member States have developed policies to compete in the global market for skills, but more needs to be done at the EU level to ensure that labour migration yields more than just the sum of these individual efforts. The EU labour migration system has developed for more than a decade according to a piecemeal approach, yielding a patchwork of approaches to transposition of EU Directives to reflect national specificities and priorities. Although Member States have agreed on common objectives and on establishing common rules at EU level, the EU instruments to achieve these objectives have not been taken up and implemented uniformly at the national level. This is particularly true for the EU Blue Card, aimed at highly qualified and highly remunerated non-EU labour migrants. Fewer than half of those estimated to be eligible have actually received it. Complex administrative procedures for obtaining permits under this and other EU schemes need to be simplified and their benefits strengthened.
