| Summary: | "Published within the framework of the ‘Well-being 2030’ project, co-financed by the European Commission, this new issue of Challenge Europe addresses the question of how to turn social policy into an effective productive factor, enabling well-being of Europeans and economic growth. Based on the argument that social policy can contribute to long-term sustainable growth, this multi-author publication focuses on those policies which can potentially bring the most added value to citizens’ life, and includes contributions from high-level policy-makers, academics, business representatives and experts about the future of social policy in Europe. While the first chapter explores the possible synergies between growth, well-being and social policy, the second part of this EPC’s policy journal turns to those policy areas where intervention can be the most effective. Finally, in a third chapter, the authors look at the EU’s room of manoeuvre and propose specific policy actions." |
