Nearly a quarter of Spain's workforce--and roughly half of Spain's young people--have no jobs. Unemployment rates in Austria, Germany and the Netherlands, by contrast, are dramatically lower. When Americans are faced with depressed labour markets, many saddle up in search of work. But Europeans are far less likely to uproot, both within borders and, especially, across them. There is an obvious reason for that: Europe's linguistic diversity. Language matters. Europe's demography also counts. Migration does less good to older workers, who have fewer working years ahead of them in which to benefit from moving. Such built-in barriers make the need to clear away other obstacles all the more important. In principle, migration across European Union borders, except Bulgaria's and Romania's, is as easy as migration within member states. In practice, residents face a pile of disincentives.
