European Economic and Employment Policy Brief
European Economic and Employment Policy Briefs (EEEPBs) are edited by Senior Researcher Andrew Watt and issued electronically.
They are based on analytical work that is conducted both by the ETUI-REHS and cooperation partners.
The aim of EEEPBs is to provide readers with short, critical, policy-oriented analyses of topical issues relating to European employment and the economy.
Launched in 2005, the policy briefs have covered a number of important subjects including flexicurity, leave and holiday entitlements in the European Union and United States, a European minimum wage policy, smart growth, accession to the euro area, and the role of demand-side policies in reducing unemployment.
