Employment Practices with respect to EU:European UnionDr.B.B. Tiwari
This document discusses employment practices in European countries and how they relate to cultural differences. It begins with an introduction to how employees' work approaches are influenced by their country's values and norms. It then outlines key areas of EU labor law regarding working conditions and informing/consulting workers. It discusses the increased use of flexible employment practices in recent years for cost reduction and competitiveness reasons. Finally, it examines how uncertainty avoidance, power distance, individualism vs. collectivism, and masculinity vs. femininity impact different European countries' use of flexible employment practices according to Hofstede's cultural dimensions.
The document discusses various topics related to social changes, economic systems, and development in India. It covers:
1. Alvin Toffler's theory of social change occurring in three waves - the agricultural revolution (First Wave), the industrial revolution (Second Wave), and the information revolution (Third Wave).
2. An overview of India's economic planning system and the objectives of economic planning such as economic growth and reducing economic inequalities.
3. Key aspects of India's Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) economic reforms in the 1990s including foreign investment reforms and deregulation.
Jim Mowatt, Director of Education for UNITE the union, discussed the union's political ambitions and strategies at a seminar at Newcastle University Business School. The union's main goals are restoring and expanding collective rights and bargaining, achieving a real living wage, and improving apprenticeships and skills training. Mowatt explained that collective bargaining, as described by Sir Otto Kahn-Freund, provides a counterbalance to the inherent inequality of power between employers and employees. Recent union successes with various companies were highlighted. Going forward, Mowatt advocated for unions and employers to work together through shared political programs, flexibility, and a focus on long-term sustainability, motivated workforces, and organizational learning.
This document discusses whether a single European model of capitalism will emerge. It summarizes that the UK and Germany have undergone some incremental changes in their market economies but are unlikely to dramatically change and converge into a single model due to factors like path dependency, political processes, and time lags between changes in political and economic institutions. While some characteristics of liberal and coordinated market economies have been adopted in each country to improve economic performance, their core models will persist due to these "non-convergent" changes.
The document discusses social innovation and how Europe can support it. It defines social innovation as having both a process and outcome dimension. The process is about new forms of organization to address social issues through collaboration. The outcomes can be dedicated schemes to help excluded groups, addressing societal challenges, or systemic change like more participatory policymaking. It notes barriers to social innovation and recommendations for Europe. It also discusses applying social innovation concepts to issues like aging and intergenerational fairness.

1. Shock therapy economic reforms were implemented in Poland in the early 1990s following the collapse of communism, promoted by international actors like the IMF and World Bank.
2. These reforms included rapid privatization, liberalization, and austerity measures intended to quickly transition Poland to a market economy, but had severe social costs like high unemployment and inequality.
3. In retrospect, shock therapy was seen as too extreme and disruptive for Poland's existing economic and social structures, failing to adequately consider the country's specific context and instead prioritizing rapid economic changes over social stability. Gradual reforms may have been more appropriate.
The Community First action plan for innovation foresees, among its priority actions, a thorough exchange with the Member States and leading players in the field on the issues of start-up and growth of technology based enterprises and companies with a strong component of radical innovation.
This exchange was launched with a round table chaired by Edith Cresson on 9 December 1997 in Paris, and which gathered government officials, entrepreneurs, investors, academics and researchers, etc.
The round table helped to identify relevant themes and factors conditioning the success of technology-based and other innovative firms.
Further to the round table, three working groups have been set up to examine each stage in the development of the firm (gestation and birth; start-up and consolidation; growth). The list of participants is included in annex.
The objectives of the working groups were:
• to identify what constitutes good practice,
• to point out weaknesses and insufficiencies which may exist in the European Union (or in certain of its regions) relative to competing areas elsewhere in the world (especially the United States)
• to make proposals for possible action, in particular at European level.
These proposals for action concern private actors in a first instance. However public actors have an important role to play in fostering a favourable environment or in stimulating interaction between the different actors (in particular though public/private partnerships), without necessarily adding to public expenditure.
The work was carried out in three stages. Written contributions were called for by 20 March. A core group drawn from each working group met on 26 or 27 March 1998 in Luxembourg with the objective to analyse and further elaborate on the submitted contributions. A first discussion paper was then issued and circulated to each group. The current set of documents attempts to synthesises the contributions and comments to date.
The three discussion papers were reviewed in detail at the Luxembourg conference on 18 and 19 of May.
A careful reader will notice some overlap between the analysis and recommendations by each group. This shows that the process from the initiation of the idea to the growth of the company is a continuum and cannot easily be split in discrete phases. At this discussion stage, no systematic attempt has been made to suppress this overlap. It is a task to be carried out further to the conference. Only the more striking misallocation of suggestions or examples have been tackled.
To facilitate the synthesis a similar structure has been adopted for each group, reflecting the main issues at stake. Besides the description of the relevant boundary conditions, each group has therefore focused on four main influential factors:
• a conducive environment,
• access to skills and competencies,
• access to financing,
• access to markets,
This document provides an overview of a basic orientation seminar for union leaders organized by DENREU Workers' Education Team. The objectives of the seminar are to help participants understand responsible public sector unionism, discuss views on being a unionist, and examine the global, national, and public sector labor situations. The seminar will cover the moral and legal bases of public sector unionism, trade union concepts and philosophy, and DENREU's activities and success stories. It will discuss DENREU's work in education, organizing, negotiating benefits, general membership welfare, collective negotiation, fellowship and social activities, and workers' defense.

A European Growth Policy for Twenty-seven Countries - Prospects and Problems ...gogrowth
The document discusses the challenges facing the European Union in developing growth policies for its 27 member countries in the modern knowledge economy. It argues that traditional industrial policies focused on subsidies and grants will not be effective, and that modern growth policies require more collaboration between firms, governments, and universities. However, establishing these collaboration policies is difficult because the different organizations have different social capital in the form of norms, networks, and values. The document proposes measures at the EU, national, and regional levels to help overcome these obstacles and better coordinate growth policies across levels of governance for the knowledge economy.
A European Growth Policy for Twenty-seven Countries - Prospects and Problems ...gogrowth
The document discusses the challenges facing the European Union in developing common growth policies for its 27 member states in the modern knowledge economy. It argues that traditional industrial policies focused on subsidies and grants will not be effective, and that modern growth policies require more collaboration between firms, universities, and government. However, establishing collaboration is difficult because these organizations have different social networks and values as a result of their different roles. The document proposes that policies are needed at the EU, national, and regional levels to help build "social capital" or trust between these organizations in order to support innovation systems and regional clusters that can drive growth in the knowledge economy.
The document discusses promoting learning mobility for young people in Europe. It begins by defining learning mobility as transnational mobility to acquire new skills. It then discusses why learning mobility is important, such as strengthening employability and personal development. The document outlines that a Green Paper is being released to spur an open debate on further supporting learning mobility. It proposes a new "Youth on the Move" initiative to ensure all young Europeans can spend part of their education in another EU country by 2020. The paper seeks input on how to improve information, address obstacles, and better engage stakeholders to promote greater learning mobility across Europe.
This document proposes that securing decent work for all people should be the primary goal of the International Labour Organization (ILO) during this period of global economic transition. It discusses how globalization and changes in the world of work have impacted the ILO's constituents and transformed the economic and social environment. However, these challenges also present opportunities for the ILO to renew its focus on promoting fundamental principles and rights at work, employment, social protection, and social dialogue to help shape policies that ensure decent and productive work worldwide. To achieve this goal, the ILO will need to set clear priorities, strengthen consensus among its tripartite members, and adapt its programs and capabilities to respond to regional realities during this time of widespread economic adjustment

This document discusses a journal article that analyzes the concepts of social enterprise and social entrepreneurship in Europe and the United States. It describes the different historical contexts in which these concepts developed in Europe versus the US. Specifically, it outlines how social enterprises took root earlier in Europe, particularly in countries with Bismarckian welfare systems, while gaining prominence in the US in the early 1990s. The document aims to deepen the trans-Atlantic dialogue on conceptualizations of social enterprise and highlight both convergences and divergences between the European and American approaches.
- Europe can only respond effectively to its overlapping crises of finance, refugees, and climate change by acting together through common European solutions and instruments. Individual countries are too weak to address major challenges alone.
- Examples of necessary common European action include the new European Border and Coast Guard to manage migration flows and develop an EU asylum system, as well as correcting tax avoidance through decisions like making Apple repay billions in unpaid taxes.
- For sustainable and inclusive growth, Europe needs coordinated investment in both high-tech research and quality education accessible to all children from an early age. The state has an important role in shaping markets and providing essential public services to support
The document proposes a new EU Strategy for Youth that aims to invest in and empower young people in Europe. It identifies key challenges facing youth like education, employment, social inclusion and health. The strategy calls for stronger cooperation across policy areas to address youth issues. It sets out long-term goals and shorter-term priorities over three years, focusing on creating more opportunities for youth, improving access and participation for all young people, and fostering mutual solidarity between youth and society.
This document explores the potential for social innovation in manufacturing through "maker manufacturing". It identifies three dimensions of social innovation in manufacturing: 1) Democratization of making through open tools and sharing of knowledge; 2) Supply chains for good through full transparency; and 3) Corporate citizenship by making social/environmental impact part of business strategy and decision-making. The document argues that maker manufacturing could contribute to the European Commission's agenda of jobs, growth, fairness and democratic change, but risks need to be managed. It calls for political support to realize the potential of this emerging field.
This document provides an overview of a research project examining social enterprises in Central and Eastern Europe and the Commonwealth of Independent States. It finds that while economic growth has occurred in the region following transitions in the 1990s, social problems remain including high unemployment, inequality, and gaps in basic service delivery. Vulnerable groups have been particularly impacted. The report explores how social enterprises, which aim to achieve both social and economic goals, can help address these issues through activities like providing services, generating employment, and building social cohesion. It presents case studies and recommendations but notes the potential role of social enterprises is still underdeveloped in the region compared to Western Europe. The research sought to raise awareness and understanding of social enterprises to help reduce poverty and
This document provides an overview of social innovation. It defines social innovation as the development of new ideas, products, services, and models to meet social needs and create new social relationships. Social innovations are innovations that are both socially beneficial and involve social processes. The document discusses different approaches to social innovation, such as innovations that respond to social demands, address societal challenges, and drive systemic change. It also notes that social innovations often involve service innovations and social design approaches to empower local communities.
This document provides a guide to social innovation. It defines social innovation as new ideas that meet social needs and create new social relationships. Social innovations are innovations that are social in both their ends and means. The document discusses why opting for social innovation is important, noting that societal trends present opportunities for growth markets and entrepreneurial solutions to challenges. Social innovation can help Europe achieve its Europe 2020 goals of a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy.
Development Education and Awareness Raising: Contributing to the European Con...Euforic Services
This document discusses contributing to the European Consensus on Development through public awareness raising, development education, and campaigning. It outlines that the consensus aims to create a public that is better informed about global issues, able to support development, and involved in challenging practices that perpetuate poverty. It suggests that current education and awareness efforts need more impact and integration in formal education systems. The document proposes strategies like engaging policymakers, creating dialogue between organizations, and highlighting development issues' relevance to encourage joint work between educators, governments, NGOs, and institutions to develop activities that lead to sustained public engagement in local-global relations.
Employment, skills, and accessible technology are key to making greater progress towards broad digital inclusion. This invitation-only workshop jointly organized by Microsoft and ONCE on the 14th June 2010 was an opportunity to facilitate a high level, multi-stakeholder dialogue on how to promote greater employment opportunities for people with disabilities with a focus on practical technical and policy solutions.
The dialogue was structured around two key documents: (1) New Skills for New Jobs: Action Now that is a report by the Expert Group on New Skills for New Jobs prepared for the European Commission (February 2010); and (2) Post Crisis: e-Skills Are Needed to Drive Europe’s Innovation Society, an IDC White Paper sponsored by Microsoft (November 2009).
The document discusses several topics related to health and science:
- Professor Giles Vassal from the European Society for Paediatric Oncology outlines the importance of tackling cancer in children and adolescents in Europe.
- Gill Collinson from the National STEM Centre highlights the significance of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) education.
- Judith Shapiro from the Carbon Capture and Storage Association asks if carbon capture and storage can help Europe meet its climate change goals as outlined in the upcoming 2015 Energy Bill.
Stephen Hale, director of Green Alliance presents at a NCVO Third Sector Foresight seminar exploring the implications of climate change for the voluntary and community sector
The document provides an overview of the role that the social economy could play in delivering the investment priorities of the European Social Fund (ESF) for the 2014-2020 planning period. It defines social economy as enterprises that pursue both social and economic goals in a way that prioritizes people over capital. The document outlines some overall recommendations for ESF support for the social economy and examines how the social economy could contribute to each of the ESF's 18 investment priorities based on examples from different Member States.
