In several European Union (EU) Member States, the proportion of labour migration has significantly increased, and certain economic sectors have become dependent on foreign labour. In light of the growing volumes of labour migration, the EU and its Member States are also focusing on preventing illegal employment, as it serves as a driving force for irregular immigration.
