Summary/Abstract: The joint issue of the Austrian research institute Paul Lazarsfeld Gesellschaft für Sozialforschung (PLG), and the Institute for Labour and Family Research (IVPR)) follows up the tradition of international cooperation in presenting research findings. The interest in the cross-border labour migration, mapping of the skill level of the labour force, and the life conditions in the border region of Western Slovakia and Vienna are the selected areas of the problems which were addressed by the project of FAMO “Monitoring of the Professional Work Force – Regular Surveys of Supply and Demand for Professional Work Force in the Border Region between Eastern Austria and Slovakia“ and which were included in this bulletin. Based on their knowledge from comprehensive representative empiric surveys, the authors pointed out the development of the situation, and the market changes in the border region recorded in the period of 2008/2009 FAMO I and 2010/2011 FAMO II. The contribution of the Austrian research institute confronts the main research findings with the findings from the LAMO project implemented in the period of 2003 - 2007, and is focused on the reflection of changes in the labour market in connection with the European Union enlargement.
