European Economic
and Social Committee
Extraordinary Meeting of the Workers' Group
Ahead of the ongoing academic and political debate on competitiveness, the welfare state, the gap and the possible paths for Europe's future, the event is bringing together experts and representatives from trade unions across Europe to discuss different aspects of this debate. One of the key topics will be the question of competitiveness. How is measured, how is diagnosed, its implications for the world of work, and how it is now conditioning policy options and legislation at EU and national levels.
