European pillar of social rights[modifier | modifier le code]
The European Pillar of Social Rights affirms 20 key principles and rights to support
fair and well-functioning labour markets and welfare systems in the European Union
(EU). It was solemnly proclaimed by the European Parliament, the Council of the
European Union and the European Commission at the Social Summit for Fair Jobs and
Growth in Gothenburg, Sweden, on 17 November 2017.
The Pillar is the first set of social rights proclaimed by EU institutions since the Charter
of Fundamental Rights in the year 2000 [1]. It was prepared by the Juncker Commission,
under the leadership of Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis and Commissioner Marianne
Thyssen, in close consultation with stakeholders at all levels. The Pillar sets out a
number of key principles and rights to support fair and well-functioning labour markets
and welfare systems.
The 20 principles and rights are structured under three categories:
Chapter I – Equal opportunities and access to the labour market
1. Education, training and life-long learning
2. Gender equality
3. Equal opportunities
4. Active support to employment
Chapter II – Fair working conditions
5. Secure and adaptable employment
6. Wages
7. Information about employment conditions and protection in case of dismissals
8. Social dialogue and involvement of workers
9. Work-life balance
10. Healthy, safe and well-adapted work environment and data protection
Chapter III – Social protection and inclusion
11. Childcare and support to children
12. Social protection
13. Unemployment benefits
14. Minimum income
15. Old-age income and pensions
16. Health care
17. Inclusion of people with disabilities
18. Long-term care
19. Housing and assistance for the homeless
20. Access to essential services
The rationale behind the European Pillar of Social Rights is twofold: Firstly, it aims to
further improve economic and social conditions across Europe after the Great Recession
of 2008–2012. Secondly, it aims to address the changing world of work against the
backdrop of globalisation, digitisation, and automation.
The Pillar is accompanied by a social scoreboard to monitor progress on the ground in
the context of the European Semester of economic policy coordination.
Implementation
Article 17 of the preamble notes: “Delivering on the European Pillar of Social Rights is a
shared political commitment and responsibility. The European Pillar of Social Rights
should be implemented at both Union level and Member State level within their
respective competences, taking due account of different socioeconomic environments
and the diversity of national systems, including the role of social partners, and in
accordance with the principles of subsidiarity and proportionality.” Commissioner
Thyssen has repeatedly underlined the importance also of civil society next to EU
institutions, national governments and social partners to make social rights a reality [2] [3].
In order to contribute to the implementation of the Pillar, the Commission launched
between April 2017 and March 2018 a number of binding and non-binding initiatives, in
particular on better work-life balance, predictable and transparent working conditions,
access to social protection for workers and the self-employed, and on a European Labour
Authority.
The European Council concluded on 14 December 2017 that the Pillar should be
implemented at Union and Member State level, with due regard to their respective
competences. The Commission was invited to propose appropriate monitoring [4].
The Commission responded to this request with a communication published in March
2018, in which it explained how the European Semester can fulfil this role [5]. Starting
with the 2018 cycle, the European Semester reflects the priorities of the European Pillar
of Social Rights.
The European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), the Confederation of European
Business (BusinessEurope), the European Centre of Employers and Enterprises
providing Public Services (CEEP), and the European Association of Craft, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEunited, formerly UEAPME) agreed on a joint
statement [6] that sets out how they as social partners can contribute to fair jobs and growth
in the future. Also civil society is engaged in the implementation of the Pillar, for
example through the Social Platform, the largest network of European rights- and value-
based civil society organisations in the social sector [7].
