Briefing Note on the European Pillar of Social Rights

The European Pillar of Social Rights sets out 20 key principles and rights to support fair and well-functioning labour markets and welfare systems.


It focuses on employment and social aspects to ensure that the European social model is fit for the challenges of the 21st century. (https://ec.europa.eu/commissio...)

The establishment of the European Pillar of Social Rights is part of the broader debate about the future of Europe, which was launched by the Commission's White Paper of 1 March 2017.

Delivering on the principles and rights defined in the European Pillar of Social Rights is a joint responsibility of Member States, EU institutions, social partners and other stakeholders.
