Tässä Faktatietojen luvussa kerrotaan, miten EU tukee nuorisopolitiikkaa. Luvussa esitellään EU:n nuorisostrategia 2019–2027 ja sen kolme pilaria – osallistaminen, yhdistäminen ja vaikutusmahdollisuudet – joita toteutetaan Erasmus+ -ohjelman, Euroopan solidaarisuusjoukkojen ja nuorisotakuun kaltaisilla lippulaivaohjelmilla. Lisäksi kerrotaan Euroopan parlamentin roolista lastensuojelutoimenpiteiden kehittämisessä ja alaikäisiä koskevasta verkkoturvallisuudessa sekä toiminnoista, joiden kautta nuoret ...

The public policy ideal should be to provide high-quality healthcare to all EU citizens and residents in each Member State, also through cross-border cooperation, that, in turn, incentivises improvements in national healthcare systems. Difficulties in accessing cross-border healthcare become apparent when the coordination of public healthcare systems intersects with the free movement of market (private) healthcare services and goods. Inter alia, this paper presents the current challenges and possible ...

This briefing explores the potential of a European Senior/Pensioner Card from a human rights perspective. It assesses different design options, particularly regarding eligibility. While such a card could support mobility, participation and access to services, it would need to be embedded in a broader policy approach addressing age discrimination and promoting age-friendly environments across the EU.

The European Commission wants to improve the quality of jobs in the EU. Building on its communication on the quality jobs roadmap, it is now preparing a new legislative proposal, the quality jobs act. Taking as a starting point the existing EU rules, it has consulted European social partners on possible further action in five areas: algorithmic management and artificial intelligence (AI) at work; health and safety at work; subcontracting; just transitions; and enforcement and role of social partners ...

This study examines the growing financialisation of housing in the EU, focusing on the role of institutional investors and corporate landlords in rental housing markets. It identifies two forms of speculation: valuation-driven business models centred on asset appreciation and landlord practices that undermine tenants’ rights and housing security. While the Commission’s European Affordable Housing Plan recognises these challenges, the study argues that more action and EU-level coordination are needed ...

This study assesses GAP III implementation and identifies lessons for GAP IV after 2027. It finds on the one hand GAP III strengthened EU gender mainstreaming through targets, gender analysis, Country-Level Implementation Plans, political dialogue and institutional routines, but on the other hand links to financing, responsibilities, results and accountability remain uneven. GAP IV could preserve this architecture while making gender equality more politically resilient, financially traceable, management-owned ...

Tässä luvussa kerrotaan siitä, miten köyhyyden, syrjäytymisen ja syrjinnän torjuntaa koskeva EU:n politiikka on kehittynyt vuosien varrella. Sosiaalisen syrjäytymisen torjunta hyväksyttiin osaksi EU:n perussopimusten politiikkatavoitteita 1990-luvun lopussa, minkä myötä EU sai käyttöönsä myös vahvempia keinoja torjua syrjintää. Siitä lähtien EU:ssa on toteutettu useita merkittäviä toimia, kuten asetettu köyhyyden torjunnalle tavoitteita ja sovittu keinoista, joilla niihin päästään. Lisäksi on laadittu ...

Youth mental ill-health in the EU-27 is high, rising and increasingly associated with digital environments. This study shows how persuasive platform design, harmful content and emerging AI-mediated interactions amplify offline vulnerabilities in the context of under-resourced, fragmented services and a large 'missing middle' between schools and specialist care. Using seven country case studies and an EU-27 cost model, it estimates that youth mental ill-health will cost about €1.68 trillion over 2024 ...
