Abstract

The aim of this chapter is to describe the major labour migration processes in Latvia, focusing particularly on changes since Latvia’s accession to the European Union. Migration processes in Latvia after the Second World War can be divided into three periods: (i) migration under Soviet rule, (ii) the transition period - after regaining independence and before EU accession - and (iii) the period since EU accession. Each stage is characterized by different migration volumes, intensity, flows and main destination.
