Updated Labor Migration Database

On 1 May 2026, the updated Labor Migration Database was launched online. The database provides students, scientists and policymakers with an up-to-date overview of scientific publications on labor migration, each accompanied by a brief summary. It has a simple search function that allows the database to be filtered using a combination of keywords, dates, and/or authors. Ten years after its launch, the database now contains over 1,350 sources. The database has been migrated to new software and thoroughly reviewed. The Labor Migration Database originates as part of the multidisciplinary INT-AR research project. In close collaboration with policymakers, employers, the temporary employment sector, and trade unions, the project mapped the significance of labour market internationalisation and cross-border labour recruitment in Europe through literature review and desk research.
