🔌It’s time to unplug.

While telework offers flexibility, it also raises challenges regarding workers’ rights.
⏰Until 11 June 2024, the Commission seeks opinions from EU social partners on fair telework practices.

Explore the EU’s approach to the #Right2Disconnect ↓

Young people often need support to find the right path to getting a good job - and avoiding the NEET trap.

The EU, through the ALMA initiative and other ESF-funded programmes, is helping reach out to Europe’s youth - especially those who need it most.

We leave nobody behind.

In 2023, more than 75% (195.3 million) of the EU's 20 to 64-year-olds were employed.

This is great progress towards our target of at least 78% employment by 2030.

Our focus remains on upskilling for job transitions and improving working conditions.
