5. Key Findings Average @ ≈50%: Political will counts, more than tradition +1: Slow progress Few fact-based changes Monitor statistics (esp. emp. & edu.), but evaluate policy impact?

6. Key Findings Policies more similar and strong with EU law

7. 1) ACCESS Immediate access to employment Private sector Public sector Immediate access to Self-employment Self-employment sectors 2) ACCESS TO GENERAL SUPPORT Public employment services Access to education, vocational training, study grants Recognition of non-EU qualifications 3) TARGETED SUPPORT Facilitation of recognition procedures Labour market integration measures Measures for migrant women & youth Support to access public employment services 4) WORKERS’ RIGHTS Unions & negotiation bodies Social Security Working conditions Information on migrant workers’ rights Labour Market Mobility: Indicators
