On 14 July 2015, the European social partners, Business Europe, UEAPME, CEEP and ETUC, agreed on their 5th work programme covering the period 2015-2017.
The new "Partnership for inclusive growth and employment” focuses on eight areas namely active ageing, work-life balance and the gender pay gap, labour mobility, the European Investment Package, skills needs in digital economies, active labour market policies, apprenticeships to increase youth employment, and capacity building. In each of these topics, the social partners agreed to work together to improve the functioning of labour markets and strengthen social dialogue at both the EU and national levels.
The EU social partners also concluded a joint “In-depth employment analysis” regarding the functioning of European labour markets. The report provides key recommendations to address challenges stemming from the crisis and structural issues. These recommendations include the potential of social dialogue to deliver growth and employment, the need to address Europe's weakness in terms of job creation, the need to foster productivity and the importance of fighting inequalities and poverty. With the analysis, the European social partners aim to contribute to the creation of more and better jobs in the EU.
