Employment & Social Affairs | cep - Centre for European Policy Network

Even after the Lisbon Treaty, employment and social affairs remain largely within the remit of the Member States. Nevertheless, the EU also wants to achieve full employment and social progress by way of EU-wide proposals and by coordinating national policies. It encourages solidarity between the generations and the prevention of discrimination. cep PolicyBriefs keep track of EU policy in this sensitive area.
