Managing household debts: Social service provision in the EU: Workshop report

The current financial crisis has caused unemployment levels to rise, with the lagged impact still to be felt. This combination of factors has led to increased over-indebtedness among households. The participants in the workshop that took place in June 2009 discussed preventive and alleviative measures and the role of social services in this matter. They mapped current and planned activities of the different organisations, identified needs for further research, and discussed a potential future role for Eurofound.
