The study on the “Construction sector: issues in information provision, enforcement of labour mobility law, social security coordination regulations, and cooperation between Member States” prepared for the European Labour Authority was carried out by Milieu, in partnership with Eftheia, and has now been published. With a specific focus on the posting of workers, this study analyses challenges related to the enforcement of labour mobility and social security laws in the construction sector.

Despite measures in place in the Member States to ensure compliance with posting rules, the construction industry has still difficulties in enforcing them. Posted workers and their employers are also not always fully aware of their rights and obligations despite several initiatives to improve the communication of relevant information by social partners, Member States and the European Commission. The industry also struggles with labour and skill shortages.

The main findings of this study suggest that the European Labour Authority (ELA) could play a key role in supporting better enforcement of posting rules in the sector, in communicating information to workers and employers concerned, and could also have a role in helping to improve the collection of data on labour mobility in the construction sector.
