{jathumbnail}EAPN responds to the Flagship Initiative A European Agenda for New Skills and Jobs, put forward by the European Commission last November. Despite steps forward, employment is still seen as a growth tool, much less as a key for social cohesion and inclusion.
Ahead of the Employment, Social Policy, Health and Consumer Affairs Council (EPSCO) on 9-10 March 2009, EAPN has written to the Ministers regarding the impact of the crisis on people in poverty and anti poverty organisations. In their letter, EAPN puts forward short and long term proposals to ensure that the needs of people experiencing poverty are included in the response to the crisis.
EAPN hopes that it will feed into the discussions on Lisbon leading up to the Spring Council.
For EAPN such investment as well as being necessary for people living in poverty is also good for the economy as the investment will immediately be put back into the economy in the form of spending on essential goods and services.
EAPN member networks will be closely monitoring the impact of the crisis on people experiencing poverty and people at risk of poverty and will be building alliances with other actors to produce further proposals in the coming months.
This report builds on the EAPN history of engagement in the EU Inclusion strategy (OMC Social Protection and Social Inclusion) and assesses the National Strategic Reports on Social Protection and Social Inclusion 2008-2010.
