Employment in Bulgaria as Part of European Labor Market – Trends and Institutional Challenges

Summary/Abstract: The dynamics of employment in Bulgaria in the first decade of EU membership reflects the impact of various factors, including the application of the principle of free movement of workers on the European labor market.The main goal of this study is to highlight institutional challenges facing the labour law compliance control (national system of labor inspection) and the social insurance contributions dynamics in Bulgaria in the context of EU workers mobility. The changes in employment in Bulgaria as part of the European labor market reveal both the free movement of EU workers and the attraction of third-country nationals. The diversity of the nationality of the employed is reflected in the legislation (Labour Migration and Labour Mobility Act, 13 April 2016), which regulates the main processes in relation with workers mobility. These trends are accompanied by changes and complicating the activities of institutions that have responsibilities in the field of labor law compliance control and social security in Bulgaria as part of the European labor market.
