Measuring labour mobility and migration using big data

Some 17.6 million EU citizens are currently living and working abroad, and 4% of the EU population of working age lives in another EU country. Having up-to-date information about the nature and extent of such mobility is important for policy making. However, timely and reliable statistics on the number of EU citizens residing in or moving across other Member states are difficult to obtain.

This report explores the possibilities of using geo-tagged data from social media such as those from Facebook and Twitter – to develop a method to provide more timely and potentially more accurate EU mobility statistics.
