Caritas Europa has recently published their second “Shadow Report” evaluating European Semester documents and presenting observations regarding poverty and employment from Caritas Europa Member Organisations.
It examines the development of poverty, the impact of budgetary cuts on income and access to social services, the situation of migrants and the Roma, employment, in-work poverty and labour market segmentation. It then looks at the use of EU Funding in fighting poverty and social exclusion, the impact of the European Semester on poverty and social exclusion and the involvement of civil society in Europe’s 2020 strategy.
