Enhance your Employability
What Europe does for you?
This an extract of the European Commission's strategy:
The European Commission's Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities works towards the creation of more and better jobs, an inclusive society and equal opportunities for all.
Mr Vladimír Špidla is the Member of the European Commission responsible for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities.
EU employment and social policies bring practical benefits to citizens, for example, in finding a job, moving to another Member State for work or other reasons, upgrading skills, etc. In partnership with national authorities, social partners, civil society organisations and other stakeholders, the Directorate-General addresses challenges linked to globalisation, the ageing of Europe's population and changing social realities. Examples of the areas in which we are active include support for:
* More and better jobs through the European Employment Strategy (which brings national policies closer in this field) and the European Social Fund (€9 billion per year managed in partnership with the Member States).
* Free movement of workers and coordination of social security schemes, which means that every EU national has the right to work and to live in any EU country and that people who move between countries are not disadvantaged in relation to social security including healthcare.
* Better working conditions through common minimum standards in the workplace, by supporting and developing social dialogue at European level, by modernising labour relations, and by assisting EU workers who want to be mobile.
* Social inclusion and non-discrimination by supporting efforts to combat poverty and social exclusion, reform social protection systems, assess new demographic and social developments, take action against discrimination, promote fundamental rights and enhance the integration of disabled people.
* Equality between men and women through legislation, programmes designed to improve equal opportunities for women and men and ensuring that the gender issue is taken into account in all fields of Community action.
