dc.description.abstractABSTRACT This presentation examines intra-European labour mobility from the perspective of social inequality and social stratification. The focus lies on cross-border commuters from the border regions of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary who work in Austria. The aim is to shed light on causes and forms of changes in inequality as a consequence of transnational labour involvement in the Central European Region (CENTROPE). This region is of particular interest, as it has a long history of cross-border mobility and social exchange, from the Habsburg Monarchy to the postwar period and after 1989, culminating in the accession to the EU in 2004. Since May 1st, 2011, all citizens were given the freedom to seek employment according to their skills in Austria. The superordinate research question of the study is: How do transnational labour practices in the Central European Region relate to the (re)production of social inequalities? In order to answer this question, the paper looks at influencing factors systematically linking both labour markets and mobility: the legal framework, the macro-economic context, the welfare state regime, the economic structure of the local region, employers’ practices and commuters’ life worlds.en_US
