The European social model

The European social model

The financial crisis has brought social issues back to the fore, and the European social model is once again a central talking point - but which interpretation of this model are we discussing ?

In our opinion, it is the model that encourages social dialogue, the model that has an everyday impact, the model that outlines innovative, original and effective dialogue, and the model that provides structure to commercial organisations.

This book was collectively authored by HR directors, union members, researchers and European Commission members - professionals facing urgent challenges such as youth unemployment, corporate responsibility and the transfer of knowledge from older to younger generations.

By exploring different perspectives, the aim of this book is to demonstrate how the European social model is beginning to anticipate and shape the creation of a new social pact, and how Europe is affirming its identity in a globalised world.
