| Tiivistelmä: | The article analyzes the consequences of trade integration in Europe (1995-2005) detecting how the labour costs in partner countries affect the domestic demand for high- and low-skilled labour in 'Old' (EU-15) and five 'New' EU member states. It is found that complementarity between domestic and foreign labour. When taking into account the typology of sectors, the demand for the high skilled in low skill intensive sectors in 'New' EU members is boosted by the increase of the average labour cost in 'Old' EU members. Thus in low skill intensive sectors, the high skilled in 'New' member countries can substitute for employment in EU-15 countries. |
