Abstract

Industrial capitalism created major changes in society and in the demand for workforce through industrialization and urbanization. This greatly influenced on the movement of large number of workers in global proportions. But, it’s a question whether entering the European Union of state candidates will make the same move? With the entry of central European countries into the EU, Bulgarians, Romanians wandered into westward in a big number. Will the entry of Croatia, Montenegro, and Serbia into the EU cause the same situation? How will their social mobility be? Croatia has at least 20,000 qualified tourism workers for the next summer season in the Adriatic Sea: Cooks, waiters, builders who can choose works as well as working conditions in the new EU member. The coast of Montenegro, a collection of world businessmen and rich people, calls for some 3,000 workers from Macedonia only. All Western Balkan countries, after the shock of transition, slowly are recovering and intentions and measures to reduce the number of workers in employment offices are rising. Macedonia claims that unemployment has decreased to 29 % in the contrast to 21 % in Serbia and Bosnia, and Kosovo Albania still have high figures. But, will public employment policies and a range of measures, among which the most common are employment under temporary contracts, reducing unemployment among young people, women, social cases, of handicapped people yield results? According to these logics of employment policy and the labor movement and the labor market, i.e. changes in the labor market, the logic is imposed when will Western Balkan countries join the EU and replaces the labor force with workers from Afghanistan, Bangladesh of Eritrea? Through these statistical indicators and various data - Interpretation of them will elaborate this phenomenon which is quite important for the reality in post-communist Western Balkan DOI: 10.5901/ajis.2014.v3n6p333
