| Summary: | This report is part of a joint study
between the European Commission (EC), the World Bank, andthe
Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development
(OECD). It aims to inform activation and employment support
and social inclusion policy making and programs through an
improved understanding of labor market barriers. The people
within and across countries characterized as labor market
vulnerable are not all the same. Different life situations
lead people to being unemployed, inactive, or precariously
employed. Various personal constraints may induce people to
take temporary or precarious employment, work a reduced
number of hours, or earn very low incomes despite being
engaged in full-time work. All of these are considered the
labor market vulnerable, and a better understanding of their
differences and similarities is essential to successful
labor market inclusion. Governments need to know who the
labor market vulnerable are and what barriers keep them out
of work or in unstable employment. This information will
help countries meet the inclusive growth priorities of the
Europe 2020 Strategy (EC 2010) and the European Pillar of
Social Rights; it also aligns with recognizing the potential
negative impacts of labor market vulnerability on long-term growth. |
