abstract: 'Unemployment rates, as well as income per capita, differ vastly across

  the regions of Europe. Labour mobility can play a role in resolving

  regional disparities. This paper focuses on the questions of why labour

  mobility is low in the EU and how it is possible that it remains low. We

  explore whether changes in male and female labour participation act as

  an important alternative adjustment mechanism. We answer this question

  in the affirmative. We argue that female labour participation is very

  important in adjusting to regional disparities.'
