Mark the dates! 30 national conferences to discuss Minimum Income Schemes in the EU

#eminetwork

Social insecurity is growing in Europe. European states, once hailed as models of comprehensive social protection systems, are undergoing dramatic reforms. What is happening to the European dream and model of quality employment and high-level social protection? This question is closely linked to the quality of minimum income schemes in European countries.

This is the topic of 30 national conferences happening this year between June and mid-October in 30 European countries and culminating by an EU-level conference on 06 November 2014 in Brussels, to take stock of the outcomes of all the national discussions.

These conferences are organized with the European Minimum Income Network (EMIN), a two-year project (2013-2014) funded by the European Commission, that has the aim of building consensus to take the necessary steps towards the progressive realisation of adequate and accessible minimum income schemes, in line with the European Commission’s Active Inclusion Recommendation of 2008, the poverty-reduction target of the Europe 2020 Strategy and the EU Social Investment Package.
