Qui sont les travailleurs frontaliers de la Grande Région ? Caractéristiques et déterminants de la mobilité professionnelle / Wer sind die Grenzgänger der Großregion? Charakteristiken und Determinanten der beruflichen Mobilität

The most important results of the econometrical model show that:

• The probability that women become cross-border commuters who work in a different country is lower than that for men. This variable is very relevant.
• Nationality is an important influencing factor. The cross-border commuters are more often persons whose nationality corresponds to the place of residence than other local gainfully employed people.
• Persons aged 35 to 44 are more likely to become cross-border commuters.
• A higher educational level (graduated from university or university of applied sciences) increases the probability of becoming a cross-border commuter. The primary education level, however, reduces probability. The effects are more or less strong, depending on region.
• The types of profession take different amounts of influence, depending on region. The model distinguishes between 4 categories. The reference group is the one of "technicians and agency professions". Luxembourg and the Saarland show a relevant effect of the type of profession. In Lorraine, the "administrative employees" and the "other professions and employees" are more likely to become cross-border commuters than the "agency professions". In Rhineland-Palatinate, the "administrative employees" are more likely to become cross-border commuters. In Wallonia, all three categories show positive effects.
