Contested territory. Entrepreneurship in the European Employment Strategy
Description
This is the second publication by the ETUI and SALTSA programme on entrepreneurship in the European employment strategy. It examines the experience of six EU Member States (the Netherlands, France, the UK, Spain, Finland and Germany) in implementing the entrepreneurship pillar of the European employment policy guidelines. It is intended as a contribution to the broader task of monitoring the European employment strategy.
The “contested territory” of the title refers to the concept of entrepreneurship itself. While employment policy in general has been a major concern of trade unions for many years, entrepreneurship has not been seen as a domain where they have much to contribute. In contesting this assumption the book draws attention to the possibility of a more imaginative approach to the entrepreneurship pillar than most Member States have adopted.
This book is the result of cooperation between the European Trade Union Institute (ETUI), the Swedish National Institute for Working Life (NIWL) and the three Swedish trade union confederations LO, TCO and SACO, in the framework of the Saltsa programme. SALTSA is the Swedish acronym for their joint research programme on working life in Europe.
