“…EU nationals enjoy full non‐discriminatory access to all and portability of most social security benefits. This is reflected in the fact that only a very small share of EU citizens perceive the lack of portability as an obstacle to relocate to another EU member country (d'Addio and Cavalleri, , p. 7). Jousten (, p. 11) cautions, though, that the EU legal and administrative framework coordinates national systems rather than harmonizing them.…”

This article reviews the recent literature on existing mechanisms that allow for the portability of social security entitlements for migrant workers and finds that North–North migrants have the best access to portability. There is limited coordination between origin and destination countries regarding the portability of social entitlements of South–North migrants. These migrants are dealing with discourses and policies that treat them as second class citizens, even as they are providing much‐needed labour to their host countries. South–South migrants are seeing new regional mechanisms addressing portability. However, many of the impacts of these mechanisms are not yet known. Other knowledge gaps on portability relate to internal and South–South migration, the role of gender and other social identities, migrants’ occupations as well as their legal immigration status.

“…The benefit of OP schemes to migrant workers is that the EU Commission is committed to removing tax obstacles on OP schemes within the Single Market framework. If the objective of improving the conditions for portability of social rights is accomplished, it would increase the propensity to work abroad (d'Addio and Cavalleri, 2015). In this sense, OP schemes provide a much better and simpler option for migrant workers compared to public pension systems, in providing fair pension taxation treatment.…”

Summary: This paper focuses on the development of the funded, occupational pension (OP) system in Denmark. Launched in 1987, as a grand agreement between social partners backed by the government, and as part of the collective wage bargaining process, the Danish OP system differs from the set-up in most other countries, where OP schemes typically have been introduced as part of the legislative process. The OP schemes, being a major component of the overall Danish pension system, have attracted a lot of international attention in recent years and play a key role behind the system’s success with respect to achieving satisfactory coverage, providing high replacement rates and not least, for keeping fiscal policy on a sustainable path. Finally, the paper discusses a number of future challenges, mainly related to the interaction between private and public pensions in a welfare state.

“…1, the second assumption ensures that there is a global maximum where the marginal wage gain intersects the marginal investment effort. On the other hand, the condition that the final NLI depends on the country but it is reached for all of them at the same realisation of in particular in the sector where the job-seeking is taking place, which inevitably shapes the arrival rate of job offers (Cahuc et al, 2014b). There is a broad agreement that such rates are largely influenced by EPL (Blanchard, 2005;Pissarides, 2000).…”

The paper introduces a model of how workers rationally decide to which country within an area of monetary and economic integration they will move for the purposes of living and working. Since Mundell accomplished his pivotal respective analyses, the Optimal Currency Area (OCA) literature has highlighted the importance of the reallocation of the labour force within common currency areas in order to cushion asymmetric shocks. However, several studies have put into question whether such a mobility may be considered adequately effective and efficient within the Euro Zone and, hence, political solutions have been urgently requested. This paper, using the concept of employment protection legislation (EPL), looks at the impact of the different flexibility degrees applied among national labour markets on the international labour movements within the Euro Zone, and it then proposes a reform of such in terms of the degrees of flexibility that could achieve the optimal point.
