This paper provides an overview of the 'state of the art' in the academic literature on EU labor migration policies. Particular attention is paid to the works of scholars who evaluate the status of rights of third-country national workers in relation to labor market access, employment security, social integration, etc., in European legislation on labor immigration. More specifically, the review has selected those scholarly works that focus specifically on analyzing the manner in which policy-makers have addressed the granting of rights to non-EU migrant workers, and the manner in which policy agendas have found their translation in the legislation adopted.
