| Résumé : |
The 2008 financial crisis has taken a heavy toll on our economies and social fabric but we are now turning a corner. There are some signs that the employment and social situation in the EU is slowly improving. Unemployment is falling, and employment is rising, especially in those countries that were hit hardest by the crisis. After a slight decrease in 2013, following three consecutive years on the rise, the proportion of persons at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the EU in 2014 remains broadly stable. While these are first signs of a much needed convergence in Member States’ employment and social performance restarting, discrepancies remain large. Furthermore, we need to translate the more favourable macro-economic environment into more and better pportunities for people in the EU. This is particularly the case for the 11 million long-term unemployed and the 4.6 million unemployed young people in the EU, whose number is only now starting to go down. The Council adopted in December 2015 a recommendation on long-term unemployment which represents a strong commitment by the Member States to offer better pathways into employment and out of poverty.
To build upon this nascent growth, Europe needs to invest more in the skills of people, facilitate mobility, modernise labour law and social protection systems to be fit-for-purpose in the 21st century, as well as foster entrepreneurship and innovation. This is a broad reform agenda, to which the Commission intends to make a significant contribution. Indeed, the Commission work programme 2016 foresees a pillar of social rights, a new skills agenda, a fresh start to support working parents and people with care responsibilities, a labour mobility package and proposals for a better management of migration, including their successful social integration.
This Review provides much of the evidence that will underpin our work on these ambitious initiatives. In addition, it highlights the important role of social dialogue in tackling these challenges and achieving a well-functioning social market economy. I hope that this edition of the Employment and Social Developments Review will prove a valuable tool for policy makers, social partners, civil society, researchers and citizens and that it will enhance the quality of the public debate on employment and social issues in Europe.(Marianne Thyssen)
