The key objectives of the Employment working group to facilitate exchange and mutual learning all over EU, regarding the interrelations between policies concerning employment and unemployment and the realities experienced by people in poverty and the projects and lobbying activities implemented by members at national / regional / local level. This valuable expertise also helps EAPN stand a legitimate and visible actor at EU level in relation to employment issues.
