Summary/Abstract: The current dynamics in the total number of employees in Bulgaria as part of the emerging integrated European labour market highlights a number of challenges facing the national labour inspection system, which are related to the control of compliance with labour law in the context of territorial labour mobility. The main goal of this article is to analyse and systematize modern changes in the total number of employees in Bulgaria in the context of the territorial labour mobility of the emerging integrated European labour market and to highlight a number of challenges for monitoring compliance with labour law as a key activity in the national labour inspection system. The results of the survey show that in recent years the number of people employed in Bulgaria has increased from other countries – both from third countries and from other EU countries. The lack of regular and publicly available information on the state and dynamics of the territorial labour mobility of the labour force in Bulgaria is an important characteristic of the environment in which the labour inspection activities are carried out, incl. compliance with labour legislation. The results of the study argue a number of challenges facing the national labour inspection system, including the growing requirements for systematic exchange of information with partners from other EU countries, the European Platform against Undeclared Work and the European Labour Authority, whose main aims to contribute to ensuring fair labour mobility within the internal market.
