EUROPEAN EMPLOYMENT STRATEGYSOCIAL AGENDA 2005-2010
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
The EES is the main tool to give direction to and ensure coordinationof the employment policy priorities to which Member States shouldsubscribe at EU level.
Basic idea:Economic convergence to be sustainable requires some labour
market convergence.
The European Employment Strategy (EES) has coordinated Member States' employment policies since 1997 through:
- common European guidelines and recommendations - annual national action plans for employment- monitoring, evaluation and mutual learning at EU level
EES
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
Attract and retain more people in employment and modernise social protection systems
Improve adaptability of workers and enterprises and the flexibility of labour markets.
Increase investment in human capital though bettereducation and skills.

A brief history of the EES
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
strengthening of the Community approach to employmentkey elements :
1. high level of employment as one of the key objectives,2. employment as a "common concern". 3. coordinated strategy for employment.4. priciple of "mainstreaming" employment policy, 5. Joint Employment Report + Employment Guidelines for the Member States6. Commission may propose and the Council adopt ecommendations7. legal base for the analysis, research, exchange of best practice8. It enables decisions to be taken by qualified majority
Luxembourg Jobs Summit of November 1997 anticipated the entry intoforce of the Treaty and launched the European Employment Strategy in its current form.Cardiff (June 1998), Cologne (June 1999), Lisbon (March 2000), Stockholm (October 2000) and Barcelona (March 2002).
The Amsterdam Treaty & EES launch
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
The 1997-2002 EES: four pillars
The EES was initially structured into four pillars and a set ofcorresponding guidelines.
1) Improving employability2) Developing entrepreneurship3) Encouraging adaptability in business and their employees4) Strengthening the policies for Equal Opportunities
The EES was launched with a view to make decisive progress in the fight against unemployment within five years.
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
weaker points:
Regional differences in labour market performance remained importantBottlenecks, largely due to the skills gap, were emerging in a number of Member States.
The implementation of different objectives was uneven, with most progress achieved in employability whereas the adaptability pillar was lagging behind.
Local levels of administration and other local actors needed to take a greater stake at the design and implementation of the relevant Guidelines.
2000 review “mid-term” evaluation
positive developments:
the EES had created a common, integrated framework for structuralreform which enables synergies to be achieved across simultaneous andmutually supportive action.
an increased involvement of a widenumber of actors both at the Europeanand national levels in the EES.
An increased transparency ofemployment policies, as well as anincreased political accountability of the actions.

2000 Lisbon Council: The Lisbon strategy
Lisbon objective (2000):
To become the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economy in the world capable of sustainable economic growth withmore and better jobs and greater social cohesion (+ respect for the environment)
TARGETS:

Lisbon targets
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
• In 2002, the European Commission issued its evaluation of the first fiveyears of the EES (national reports and a joint report).
more than 10 million new jobs created since 1997 and 4 million less unemployed. how much due to the introduction of the EES and how much to economic improvement,?The evaluation highlighted significant changes in national employment policies, •However, the EES is also seen to have a number of weaknesses, partly in relation tothe activation of the most disadvantaged groups and to policy evaluation, and partlyrelating to new and emerging challenges. These include:
- demographic challenges- emerging skills gap- enlargement- globalisation and immigration

Eradicating poverty and combating discriminationEU governments declared at the Lisbon Summit in 2000 that poverty in the European Union is unacceptably high.
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
Some 15 % of the EU population, or over 60 millionpeople, are living below the poverty line, thoughpoverty rates vary widely across the EU.
• They set the goal of making a decisive impact on eradicating poverty by 2010. The need for action is all the more acute now as the EU prepares forenlargement.
• Member States to co-ordinate their social protection policies within a single coherent framework.
• Under the plan, national action plans will set targets for• reducing the number of people significantly at risk of poverty and social• exclusion, with measures to help the most vulnerable as one of the priorities.

Regional contribution
Regions can bring some relevant contributions towards the Lisbon objectives:
1.- Promoting economic growth:The regional planning of Stockholm in the economic field and education and training;Innovation strategies The creation of Employment and Economic Development Centres;Life long training strategies;The creation of economic development agencies;Consultancy and training for SMEs.
2. Achieving full employment:Regional and local employment strategies; Active employment policies regarding job creation; Modernisation of the employment services.
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
Regional contribution
3. Strengthening social cohesion:
Creation of support schemes with regard to disadvantaged people groups;Specific programmes for immigrants; Creation of working/learning places to improve the link between education and the labour market;Measures regarding prevention of school drop outs.
4. Governance:
The formulation of regional employment strategies; Social dialogue;
Monitoring and evaluation practices.
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
Regions
Despite the different administrative models, the Regions are all involved in instigating projects – in partnership with other players;
Employment and training policies are still insufficiently integrated with policies in other areas that also contribute to competitiveness. However, a number of examples show that where strategic approaches do exist at regional level, policy integration and coordination is improved;
Decentralisation encourages policy coordination and integration. Regions that have greater competence achieve a greater degree of policy integration and coordination. Proximity to the issues at stake is therefore a key success factor;
Governance is an important factor in the success of employment and training policies. Achievement of positive results in development processes is increasingly dependent on the capacity of the various public and private players to be actively involved in the design and delivery of policies;
Fundación Comunidad Valenciana – Región Europea
In this context, the Regional Authorities are becoming catalysts and key coordinators of regional development processes.
Their specific role is one of networking and getting various partners to work together towards achieving development objectives.
Coordination with other administrative levels is necessary if the policies are to be effective.
Considerable progress remains to be made in this area.
