Contracting chains and recruitment patterns of posted TCNs within the EU

The European Labour Authority has commissioned a study on the participation of third-country workers in the provision of services through posting within the European Union to be conducted by the European Centre in collaboration with Milieu Consulting SRL during 2024. The study concerns the collection of background material and drafting of a report on contracting chains and recruitment patterns of posted third-country nationals for three case studies, namely Poland, Portugal, and Slovenia. Poland, Portugal, and Slovenia feature among the top sending countries of posted-TCN-workers either in absolute numbers or in relation to their overall labour force. Therefore, these countries and the associated contracting chains are selected to serve as case studies with particular attention paid to Ukrainian, Brazilian, and Bosnian nationals respectively as these nationals represent some of the highest shares of TCN workers.
