Abstract
Presentation and background paper by Graham Lowe to the European Commission's Mid-Term Review of the Social Policy Agenda: Achievements and Perspectives. Brussels, 19-20 March 2003.
From the vantage point of North America, the European Union's
Employment Strategy signalled a major step forward when launched in
1997 at the Luxembourg Jobs Summit. When coupled with the Green
Paper on 'Partnership for a new organisation of work', the stage
appeared to be set for significant progress on both job creation
and job quality goals. Indeed, since the 2000 Lisbon Summit, there
has been considerable emphasis on demonstrating that good quality
jobs are compatible with employment creation goals.1
While investments in work quality are important for all
stakeholders, forging broad support for this policy direction is a
formidable challenge. One of the largest hurdles facing the
European Employment Strategy (EES) is convincing employers that
improving the quality of work serves their interests.
