Subject files - Child Guarantee Working Group - Committee on Employment and Social Affairs

Wed, 28 Jun 2023 12:47:41 GMT

The situation of children and their families has been severely affected in the most recent years. The pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine afterwards, with a subsequent increase in the cost of living, have exacerbated their situation further. The EMPL Working Group on the Child Guarantee has been established on 19 May 2022 to reflect the European Parliament commitment to strengthen awareness raising and monitor the progress of the implementation of the Child Guarantee and its sustainability.

The implementation of national plans on Child Guarantee and their funding - together with an enhanced cooperation of the national authorities with national parliaments, civil society organizations and all relevant stakeholders - are crucial to prevent and fight poverty and social exclusion of the most vulnerable children and their families.

The EMPL European Child Guarantee Working Group's mission is to scrutinise and monitor the implementation of European Child Guarantee through exchanges of views with the Commission, ECG national coordinators and all relevant stakeholders. The WG will also monitor the adequacy and sufficiency of the funding and mobilise EU political support to speed-up the efficient implementation of the European Child Guarantee and ensure its sustainability.

The Group is chaired by the EMPL Committee Chair and includes one full and (or) a substitute Member from each political group.

Highlights - Requirements for the protection of mental health in the workplace - Committee on Employment and Social Affairs

Tue, 27 Jun 2023 13:52:06 GMT

On 28 June, EMPL Members will hear a presentation of a study that the committee commissioned on "Minimum health and safety requirements for the protection of mental health in the workplace.” This study examines the existing national legislation and best practices implemented in EU Member States concerning the safeguarding of mental health in the workplace.

It highlights the inadequacy of current EU and national efforts in effectively protecting employees from psychosocial risks. Consequently, the study concludes that EU-level legislation is necessary to establish minimum health and safety requirements specifically addressing work-related psychosocial risks and promoting mental health in the workplace. After the presentation Members will have exchange of views with the Commission, including on the recent Commission communication on comprehensive approach to mental health.

Highlights - How can cohesion policy contribute to fostering a social and inclusive Europe? - Committee on Employment and Social Affairs

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 16:53:09 GMT

On 8 June, Members of the Employment and Social Affairs Committee discussed the expected impact of the 2021-2027 cohesion policy. Among the goals set out in the cohesion policy, there is fostering a social and inclusive Europe, particularly through ESF plus, aiming at investing in people by developing digital skills, promoting reskilling and upskilling as well as inclusive and sustainable labour markets and quality jobs.

By 2027, it is expected that cohesion policy will support almost 850 000 enterprises, 6.5 million unemployed people (of whom 800 000 are long-term unemployed) and will contribute to the creation of 1.3 million additional jobs.

Highlights - Vote on Strengthening social dialogue - Committee on Employment and Social Affairs

Fri, 09 Jun 2023 16:52:17 GMT

Members of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs voted on a motion for resolution on Strengthening social dialogue on 8 May, as a reaction to the Commission Communication and proposal for a Council recommendation on reinforcing and promoting social dialogue at EU level. On 26 April the Committee adopted 2 questions for Oral answers to Council and Commission on this topic.

Social dialogue is a crucial element of the European social model and plays a vital role in driving economic and social resilience, competitiveness, fairness, and sustainable growth. It helps to find balanced solutions to the new and existing challenges faced by the labour market and working conditions. Unfortunately, the percentage of workers covered by collective agreements has witnessed a significant decline over the past 30 years, with the EU average estimated to be around 66% in 2000 and dropping to approximately 56% in 2018.
