La red EURES como instrumento para favorecer la libre circulación de trabajadores

Abstract

En este trabajo, se realiza un recorrido por la normativa europea en materia de libre circulación de trabajadores y se recogen aquellos aspectos en líneas generales que afectan de forma directa a las personas que ejercen su derecho a la movilidad laboral en Europa. Para ello se ha realizado un análisis de la herramienta del Portal EURES de la movilidad profesional, determinando así, que conforma un puente de comunicación entre las personas y los servicios de empleo de los Estados miembros de la Unión Europea. En este portal se recogen materias relativas a las condiciones de vida y trabajo, oportunidades, vacantes, demandantes y empleadores, etc. La gran parte de información es proporcionada por la propia red o por los socios de la red EURES; los consejeros de cada provincia o región de cada Estado miembro. A su vez, surge el planteamiento relativo a la dificultad que supone el diseño y formulación de esta herramienta, teniendo en cuenta variables tan complejas como la clase social, la cultura, la igualdad de oportunidades, los sistemas de Seguridad Social, etc.

In this document, I’ll be doing a tour over the different regulations that we have in Europe on the free movement of workers in the European Union. What means for an European citizen the need to go to another country and make a way of living in a Member State of the EU. In order to that, I have done a review of how this matter affect directly to the people who exercise their right to move around Europe looking for a job. To do it, I did a review of a tool that we have the right to use, as European citizens, called EURES, the European Job Mobility Portal. I’ve determined that this portal acts like a bridge of communication between the people and the national employment services of the Member States of the EU. This portal collects and reunites matters related to the cost of living and work conditions, opportunities, rights and obligations, the different responsibilities for employers and employees, etc. Most of the information that somebody can need, is provided by the portal by his own, but, the EURES institution has EURES advisers who can provide a more personal service and give information adapted to each case. They are located all over Europe in different provinces of the Member States. Also, I’ve made an approach to the challenge of designing and formulation of this portal, having in consideration all the complex matters that merge in to this topic as, social class, culture, equal opportunities, Social Security Systems, etc.
