Abstract	The first section of this paper evaluates the experience of the European Union with internal mobility of workers and its labor market effects in sending and receiving EU member states, with a specific focus on skilled migration. We review the institutional framework as well as key indicators of the free movement of workers in the European Union; we study the determinants of and remaining obstacles to internal labor mobility in the European Union; and we evaluate the potentials and challenges of the harmonization of legislation at the sub-EU level to facilitate skilled mobility in the European Union. Finally, we examine the role of EU labor market institutions in conditioning the flows of skilled migrants in the European Union. The next section examines the role of a range of migration policies for skilled labor flows between ENP countries and the European Union, as well as the effects of such flows in those countries. Similarly as for internal mobility in the European Union, we first examine the institutional and political contexts of the ENP. We then review the patterns of skilled labor mobility between the European Union and the EU Neighborhood partner countries; study the determinants of skilled labor mobility between the EU and the ENP; evaluate the impact of the ENP on skilled migration into and within the European Union; and shed light on the remaining obstacles to internal mobility of the skilled EU labor force. Section 4 evaluates some of the key questions that drive migration policy debates around the globe, such as whether migrants displace resident workers from their jobs or whether they decrease their wages. Another perspective that we consider is that of the sending countries and the labor market effects of out-migration. We then draw lessons from the EU experience for Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members in Section 5 and conclude. (Text excerpt, IAB-Doku).
