Description of the research topic:
South Eastern and Central Europe region faces a complex, nationally and regionally diverse set of demographic, migratory and labour market challenges (low or declining fertility, large scale out-migration, brain and care drain, ageing, low labour force participation rate). Together with further aspects like gender, age and the given territorial heterogeneity of the area, they are creating a complex social and political challenges for the various local and national communities. The research area aims at better understanding the longer term migratory, human capital and demographic processes of the SEE area, as well as their effects on labor markets and national/regional economies using macro and micro level historical sociological approaches and analytical techniques.
