Book excerpt: This year's review offers an in-depth and wide-ranging analysis of key labour market and social challenges facing the EU as it slowly emerges from recession. Where will Europe's new jobs come from in an increasingly competitive global economy? Will active inclusion policies support help address rising levels of poverty among those of working age? Will the improvement in the position of women on the labour market during the crisis be sustained or slip away with the recovery? Is the divisive issue of undeclared work being effectively addressed? Will all Member States progress equally, or do the weakest risk falling further behind? Have national social security systems been effective and efficient in maintaining incomes during the recession and in addressing their longer-term goals? Do we need to adapt the ways we measure economic and social progress in order to take proper account of inequalities? -- Publisher description.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union has gone through a crucial period marked by growing anti-EU sentiments and the difficult implementation of its largely renewed socio-economic governance. After years of in-depth innovations and the hope of reinvigorating the E(M)U social dimension, European institutions have engaged in a lively debate on how to exit the recession and relaunch the integration project. While most Member States have continued to pursue punitive austerity programmes – at a time when 27 million Europeans are unemployed and a quarter of the EU population is at risk of poverty – most stakeholders (namely the trade union movement) and policymakers agree on the need for an EU-driven growth strategy. This 2013 edition of Social developments in the European Union provides key insights from analysts and scholars. Through the critical assessment of the EU economic governance of the last few years, contributors have set guidelines for a reinforced EU social protection and investment plan. The proposals for a pan-European unemployment insurance scheme and an EU minimum income scheme are analysed together with a renewed focus on the gender dimension of European social policies. Beyond economic and social governance, this volume critically reviews national reforms of labour market policies. While the state of the European economy is still gloomy, the institutional and policy reforms proposed here represent an opportunity to unveil a new path for Europe.

Book excerpt: The COVID-19 outbreak put Europe, as well as the rest of the world, under exceptional public health, economic and social stress. In addition to the high death toll in 2020, economic activity suffered an exceptional slump and the state of the EU labour market deteriorated. These adverse developments are reflected in all main economic and social indicators, including for young people, who are among the most affected by the crisis. The EU and its Member States have been mobilising a wide range of measures to tackle and mitigate the impact of the crisis. At the EU level this included the flexibilisation of state aid, with the adoption of the State Aid Temporary Framework in March 2020, and fiscal rules to enable national governments to financially support healthcare systems, businesses, and keep people in employment during the crisis. The measures also include a more flexible use for the EU Cohesion Funds and an innovative instrument to underpin 'temporary Support to mitigate Unemployment Risks in an Emergency' (SURE). The major European Recovery Plan, comprising up to EUR 1.8 trillion, involves the creation of a new recovery instrument, 'Next Generation EU', which is embedded in a modern and revamped long-term EU budget. At the same time, the European Commission, with the adoption of EASE (Recommendation on Effective Active Support to Employment following the COVID-19 crisis), outlined a strategic approach to gradually transition from emergency measures taken to preserve jobs during the pandemic to new measures needed for a job-rich recovery, promoting job creation and job-to-job transitions, including towards the digital and green sectors.

Book excerpt: In 2022, the EU labour markets have demonstrated remarkable resilience despite Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, high inflation and an economic slowdown. We have witnessed record levels of employment, with the highest number of people in employment and the lowest levels of unemployment ever.

Book excerpt: Before the COVID-19 outbreak put Europe and the world under unprecedented public health, economic and social stress, 2020 had started with continuing positive trends in the EU. Despite the deceleration of economic growth relative to 2018, throughout 2019, the EU had the highest employment in history and the lowest unemployment levels on record, while living standards continued to improve and public finances were consolidated. On a global scale, the EU has continued to be a champion of employment, climate action and social rights, affording its populations high levels of social fairness, reinforced by intra-societal solidarity provided by strong social welfare systems. Nonetheless, important weaknesses remained, such as still relatively high youth unemployment, gender gaps, as well as disparities in social welfare and protection systems. Though low by international standards, income inequality had been hardly reduced for years while in-work poverty had risen in a majority of Member States. Starting as a worldwide health emergency, with a significant cost in human lives and impact on the health of the EU population, COVID-19 has developed into the biggest global socio-economic crisis since the Second World War. In the EU as elsewhere, the crisis exposed and exacerbated existing vulnerabilities while revealing the fragility of some of its greatest achievements, including the free movement of people, goods and services. The impact of the pandemic on both economic output and employment is expected to be more severe than that of the last recession. The rise in unemployment in 2020 resulting from the sharp contraction of economic output will likely be contained, thanks to the Short-Time Work schemes that over forty million people across the EU have benefitted from as well as by other support schemes to firms, workers and the self employed. Nevertheless, large parts of the population still fear that they may lose their jobs and livelihoods. The employment and social impacts of the pandemic have been unequal. While the majority of the population was forced to cope with lockdowns and social distancing for weeks, workers in certain sectors (notably healthcare and personal care, transport, agriculture, food services, accommodation, leisure and culture) were subject to higher contagion risk and/or higher income losses. Those with non-standard employment status (especially trainees and platform and temporary workers, including migrants) or a low skill level (especially those working in client-facing services) have been more exposed to job loss. Young people in particular have been disproportionately affected by disruptions in their education and training (especially those who do not benefit from digital remote educational solutions) and by difficult school-to-work transitions in the new economic context, while young workers have been often over-represented in the sectors most adversely impacted. The uncoordinated closures of borders at the beginning of the crisis hurt the Single Market and hit the incomes of EU mobile - cross border and posted - workers as well as third-country immigrants particularly hard and prevented flows from and to third countries in key occupations. Without public support measures or alternative income sources, such workers could suffer much greater income losses than, for instance, workers who can work remotely. Non-standard workers also tend to have less comprehensive social protection coverage, having poorer access to healthcare services and lower chances of income replacement if they are sick. As the pandemic seems to hit disproportionally hard those who were already at higher social risk before the crisis, it is likely to amplify pre-existing inequalities and lead to an increase in relative poverty rates.

Book excerpt: We need reliable data and a thorough analysis of social and labour market developments across Europe to support our policy initiatives. The annual Employment and Social Developments in Europe review provides just this kind of up-to-date information. On the basis of available data, we highlight trends about EU workers as well as living conditions of all EU citizens. This year's edition focuses on the changing world of work. Ongoing rapid technological change, in a context of globalized markets and ageing population, brings about opportunities as well as challenges. The changing world of work blurs the traditional distinction between different forms of employment, which tests the capacity of social welfare systems to cover all workers.

Book excerpt: The exceptional response of solidarity to the COVID-19 pandemic has helped to mitigate some of the socio-economic impact of the crisis, keeping income inequality and poverty in the EU at bay. This year's edition of the Employment and Social Developments in Europe (ESDE) confirms the tentative findings of the previous one in this respect and provides further insights on the recovery. Nevertheless, during the last two years, some groups - such as young people - were more affected than others. These inequalities risk to be reinforced by the consequences of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine, particularly given the recent price spikes.

Book excerpt: The Employment and Social Developments in Europe review has become over the years the key reference document for policy-makers and stakeholders active in social and labour market policies.

Survey evidence indicates that citizens are increasingly worried that their children may end up worse off than their parents. This is certainly one of the biggest challenges policy-makers face today, and one that should guide our action.
