Tripartite Social Summit, 19 October 2016

On 19 October 2016, the Autumn Social Summit held a discussion on "Addressing Europe's common challenges: generating growth, creating jobs and ensuring fairness".

More particularly, participants at the Summit expressed their views on the following sub-themes:

+ the main challenges in view of the annual growth survey 2017;
+ putting the New Skills agenda for Europe into practice: the key role of the social partners;
+ the integration of refugees into the labour market and society: lessons learnt so far.

This initiative, launched in March 2015, aims to strengthen the social dialogue at the European level.
