THOUGHTS ON THE EU'S EMPLOYMENT POLICY, OR IS THE ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION RELEGATED TO THE BACKGROUND?!

In terms of European public administration, we can certainly talk about a specific and perhaps unfairly rarely spotlighted topic, which may be mainly behind it. That with regard to employment policy, the Union primarily transfers responsibility and authority to the governments of the member states, the common legislation emerging in this area is also of extreme importance. The objectives of the European employment strategy defined in the field of the common employment policy go back to 1997, which implemented "soft coordination" between the member states through the elaborated follow-up process and financing instruments. The most important objective of Europe 2020 was to improve the number and quality of jobs. Among the goals to be achieved by 2030, the focus is placed on the area of skills and social protection (EU Briefings on employment policy). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
