Inforegio - How the EU delivers on a social Europe that is fair, inclusive and full of opportunity

 

The European Union is committed to ensuring that people remain centre stage of its policies and that no one is left behind. 

Together with the Member States, the EU is vested with guaranteeing equality and non-discrimination and ensuring social and territorial cohesion. 

 

In practical terms, this translates into supporting high levels of employment and skills, modernising labour markets, training and social protection systems, eradicating poverty and addressing social exclusion and improving public health. 

 

That is what inclusive growth in the EU is all about.  (...)

In the 2021-2027 period, inclusive growth remains a priority for EU cohesion policy, with a dedicated policy objective: A more social and inclusive Europe implementing the European Pillar of Social Rights. In synergy with ESF+ soft measures, ERDF support is organised into six specific objectives focused on:

• employment
• education, training and lifelong learning
• socioeconomic inclusion of marginalised groups
• and of third-country nationals
• healthcare and long-term care
• culture and sustainable tourism contributing to economic and social development. (...)
