The European Commission-funded programme for cooperation between the EU and Latin America on social and employment policies ‘EUROsociAL+’ asked the OSE to conduct a study on the socio-ecological dimension of the EU recovery from the Covid-19 crisis. The objective of this research is twofold. First, to identify and discuss relevant initiatives taken at the EU level aimed at linking and making environmental and social objectives compatible in the recovery from the Covid-19 crisis.
The OSE was contracted by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) to conduct research which resulted in the 22nd edition of the ‘Bilan social’ (the short name of the book in French), edited by Bart Vanhercke and Slavina Spasova. Contributors to the book include Cinzia Alcidi, Angelina Atanasova, Denis Bouget, Hans Bruyninckx, Francesco Corti, Michael Dauderstädt, Thibaud Deruelle, Boris Fronteddu, Gülcin Karadeniz, Jock Martin, Aida Ponce Del Castillo and Amy Verdun.
The OSE was contracted by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) to conduct research which will result in the 21st edition of the ‘Bilan social’ (its shorter name in French), to be edited by Bart Vanhercke, Slavina Spasova and Boris Fronteddu. This year’s contributors include Karen Anderson, Anniek de Ruijter, Dalila Ghailani, Scott Greer, Éloi Laurent, Matteo Mandelli, Martin Myant, Jill Rubery, Sebastiano Sabato and Ramón Peña-Casas.
The OSE was contracted by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) to write a preliminary assessment of whether the European Green Deal (EGD) constitutes a suitable policy framework to combine environmental and economic objectives with the pursuit of social fairness, thus ensuring a just transition towards more sustainable economies and societies. The resulting Working paper focuses on two elements that appear crucial to the achievement of a socially just transition in the framework of the EGD.
The global environmental crisis is tending to create new social inequalities and reinforce existing ones. As this crisis will increasingly put pressure on the very core of the EU’s socioeconomic models, the OSE has been contracted by the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI) to produce a pilot version of a newsletter on the implementation of the ‘European Green Deal’, and especially the EU’s political commitment to a ‘socially just transition’. The purpose of the Newsletter will be to monitor European policies impacting both the environment and the European social model.
