Public Hearing on the “Communication on the European Pillar of Social Rights”

This public hearing will contribute to the preparation of the EESC opinion on the European Commission’s new Communication on the European Pillar of Social Rights, which renews the EU’s commitment to Social Europe in the face of profound economic, technological and societal change. The Communication focuses on affordability, reducing inequalities and the future of work, while highlighting the role of strong social rights, quality jobs, effective social protection and equal opportunities in supporting Europe’s resilience and competitiveness. The event will bring together EU institutions, social partners, civil society organisations and other stakeholders to assess the ambitions and challenges ahead and discuss priorities for the further implementation of the Pillar.
