Topic description
Expected Impact:
The project is expected to provide a detailed analysis of the challenges faced by mobile migrant labour, particularly in risk sectors and among posted third-country nationals.
This will be complemented by the practical implementation and expansion of a transnational counselling network.
Further mapping of sector-specific needs for counselling services should be undertaken, enhancing the understanding of existing services.
The findings from phase 1 of the pilot project will be refined to prepare recommendations for a possible design for future long-term funding and the establishment of a European counselling network for mobile migrant workers.
Scope:
This action supports the setting up of one single transnational cooperation project/initiative aiming at developing activities by a consortium of relevant stakeholders with a significant and lasting impact on workers, companies, and trade unions.
The aim of this action is to support social partners to facilitate the access of mobile migrant workers to essential information on their entitlements.
