Abstract
Spatial labour markets are generally characterized by a demand for specific skills that does not automatically match the supply of persons having such capabilities. Demand and supply are brought closer together by spatial mobility of workers. It can be argued that the evolution of industrialized societies into societies of specialized education and labour demand, requires a mobility policy designed to avoid a growth in discrepancies in spatial labour markets. Since both people and jobs become increasingly heterogeneous according to skills, qualifications and locational preferences spatial mobility can be one of the necessary lubricants for the labour market and, hence, may at least partly solve the matching problem.
