EU 2020 strategy
On 24 November 2009 the European Commission launched a consultation on the EU's economic and social strategy for the next ten years (the EU2020 Strategy). The strategy will establish how the European Union should address the economic, social, and environmental challenges facing Europe through a partnership between the Member States of the EU.
This position paper from the EHRC sets out our vision for how equality and human rights can be placed at the heart of this new strategy. Much of the thinking within this paper is based upon the ideas set out in our human rights strategy, and our Working Better project.
Our response is focused on seven issues:
- A Human Rights-based Perspective
- The Impact of Recession on Equality
- Demographic Change and Good Relations
- Migration
- Reconciling Work and Family Life
- Social Inclusion
- Engaging Citizens
