Description
Summary:European member states have extinguished most internal borders, but some unseen boundaries and barriers to mobility might still exist, such as socioeconomic resources, regional disparities and social “rootedness” in a place of residence. EU mobility within itself is a unique example of an entity enabling almost unrestricted movement of people. However, only a few EU citizens are involved in and benefit from free movement; for example, 84% of EU citizens have never lived or worked in another EU state (Eurobarometer 2010). Moreover, the idea of mobility, especially within the EU, is particularly presented to young people in a positive light by the knowledge economy (Allen and Hollingworth, 2013).
