Spotlight on the social dimension
This week the European Commission has published the Reflection paper on the social dimension of Europe. It is the first of five reflection papers announced in the White paper on the future of Europe
which are intended to offer different ideas,
proposals, options or scenarios for Europe and to open a debate without
presenting definitive decisions at this stage. Also this week, the
Commission has presented the European Pillar of Social Rights, which sets out twenty key principles and rights to support fair and well-functioning labour markets and welfare systems. |

EU social and labour rights and EU internal market law
Study
This study assesses the tensions between EU
social and labour rights and EU internal market law, namely how the
original idea that free-moving workers were intended to be treated
equally has in practice created avenues for subjecting free movers to
precarious employment, in turn disrupting local employment conditions.
The authors explore responses by socioeconomic and political actors at
national and EU level to these tensions. A summary of the key findings
and
recommendations of the study can be found here.Available in English |

Member States in-work poverty is on the rise. This review pulls
together the existing evidence from across the EU on the effectiveness
of different policy interventions aimed at reducing low pay and in-work
poverty.Available in English |
