Abstract :
[en] The Greater Region Saar-Lor-Lux is a geographic space constituted by two German border regions (Saarland and Rhineland-Palatinate), one French (Lorraine), one Belgian border region (Wallonia) and a small country (Luxembourg). In this area situated in the centre of the European Union, new dynamics of employment are observed especially with the development of cross-border labour: more and more people live and work in two different countries. Cross-border labour and its different forms have positive and negative effects on the composition of regional labour markets and more generally on the economic and social development of these different border regions.
