Journal of Manpower (IJM) is pleased to announce a special issue focused on
labour market flexibility and spatial (labour) mobility. The special issue will
examine different aspects of labour market flexibility, spatial mobility of
workforce and its effects on labour market flexibility, factors influencing
both labour market flexibility and spatial mobility, role of education and/or
life-long learning for certain aspects of labour market flexibility and spatial
mobility. The special issue aims to offer a range of economic, social and
cultural perspectives on issues of labour market flexibility and spatial
mobility in different countries (country groups) during different economic
cycles (e.g. booms and crises). Special issue will focus on three main research
fields: how labour flexibility is linked with spatial mobility; how formal
education and lifelong learning affect labour market flexibility; and how
educational and labour policy and different institutional settings contribute
to labour market flexibility and mobility during different economic cycles.
Key Themes:
- role of human capital in labour mobility processes during different
economic periods (e.g. booms and crises)
- interactions between labour market flexibility and spatial mobility
- role of formal education and lifelong learning for certain aspects of
labour market flexibility
-knowledge and workers' flows in Europe
