  • National Social Dialogue on Employment Policies in Europe (pdf 714 KB)
    by Ludek Rychly, Marketa Vylitova, ISBN 92-2-117208-2

    The study covers 11 countries with distinct traditions, different stages of economic development and diverse social situations and industrial relations patterns intentional. It highlights the achievements of European social dialogue, especially in the policy design and implementation phases of employment policies. Its conclusions show that while the recognition of social dialogue as a vital element in the promotion of employment policy is generally growing, the practice must be improved everywhere. The key to success lies not only in improving the legal and institutional frameworks, but more importantly, in strengthening the political will of all parties involved.
