Abstract

Germany has become one of the major destination countries for labour migration within the European Union. The German government introduced temporary restrictions on labour migration after the first and second rounds of eastern enlargement in 2004 and 2007. These barriers had little impact on the overall volume of labour mobility. On the contrary, they were accompanied by new “atypical” forms of mobility through the posting of workers, self-employment and seasonal workers, which according to EU rules are covered only by a minimum of host country regulations. The combination of temporary restrictions on regular migration and the opportunities created through atypical mobility were strong incentives for companies to engage in ‘regime shopping’ strategies. This contributed to a considerable growth in outsourcing and subcontracting, whereby the flexible use of external labour added to the pre-existing dynamics of low-wage competition, segmentation and fragmentation in the lower wage segment of the German labour market.
