In addition to the fact that European Union countries attract a large number of foreigners who even plan to live in the bloc’s countries following high living standards, the education system as well as low tax prices, EU countries also need a large number of workforces in order to deal with labour shortages.
Besides, the European Commission in January this year unfolded plans to introduce a new mechanism in order to encourage migration from third countries to the EU and thus mitigate labour shortages registered in many industries, SchengenVisaInfo.com reports.
In addition, the Commissioner for Home Affairs and Employment and Social Rights, Nicolas Schmit, announced a Labour Migration Platform that will help EU countries deal with the labour shortage challenges.
The figures provided by the European Statistics Office, Eurostat, showed that the unemployment rate in EU countries in January this year was 6.1 per cent, and 6.7 per cent in the Euro area.
In order to deal with the current problems, some European countries have introduced different work permits and other visas, among them the Job Seeker Visa.
