[en] Researchers and practitioners have contributed a lot to the understanding of the dynamics of labor migration. Moreover, mobilites of younger persons remain at the periphery of the migration research and are overshadowed by how “older” migrants move and why.
In this presentation we would like to draw more attention to the mobility of young persons who move in Europe with the purpose of work. In particular, we will explore the young employment mobility in its own way and focus on mobility trajectories of young Europeans by asking ourselves: how they move and why? For that we formulate the central question as: Along their mobility trajectories, what comes across their pathways? What is their “mobility gate”? What do they rely upon in their employment mobility(-ies)?
