Towards zero long-term unemployment

A webinar organised by the ESF+ Community of Practice on Employment, Education and Skills puts the results of a recently published study on job guarantees up for discussion.

Long-term unem­ployment remains a per­si­stent challenge in the European Union under­li­ning the need for new inno­va­ti­ve approa­ches. With that in mind, the ESF+ Social Innovation+ Initiative will focus on ter­ri­to­ri­al measures that address long-term unem­ployment, with a budget of EUR 23 million allocated in 2024, the European Commission aims to support the testing, transfer, and scaling up of inno­va­ti­ve solutions to tackle this challenge.

The Community of Practice on Employment, Education and Skills invites to a webinar pre­sen­ting the recently published study Towards zero long-term unem­ployment in the EU: Job gua­ran­tees and other inno­va­ti­ve approa­ches which was co-authored by Jörg Markowitsch (3s) and Ágota Scharle (Budapest Institute for Policy Analysis) supported by 3s-col­le­agues Julia Fellinger and Tessa Pittrof. Selected initia­ti­ves from Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and the Netherlands will be high­ligh­ted and discussed among the invited stake­hol­ders from all over Europe.
