Labourmarket Monitoring I: Household Survey 2005

The aim of LAMO (Labourmarket Monitoring) is the development, application and validation of a monitoring tool for the regular survey of the changes on the labour market in the course of the EU enlargement. Another goal is to complement the objective labour market data with information on the subjective willingness of people in the border regions to commute between home and work or to emigrate. Thereby, developments can assessed and this enables politics to react accordingly in time. The need for labour force in the regions is evaluated so that the whole labour market situation can be considered. The LAMO tools are expert interviews, household and enterprise interviews. The household interview questions are on the following topics:->socio-demographic questions, qualification and knowledge, occupational situation, salary expectations, flexibility concerning job and living, experiences with working abroad, experiences with commuting between home and work within the own country, willingness and reasons for working abroad or to emigrate, etc.
