Social Protection

Social protection schemes in Europe have mostly been designed for the open-ended, full-time contract and have not kept pace with the changes that have taken place in the world of work. In an increasingly diverse world of work, modernising social protection and social safety nets is needed to guarantee social inclusion.

Europe needs a new focus and strategy to adapt to the changing world of work. The World Employment Confederation-Europe believes that social innovation is the right approach to build more inclusive and sustainable labour markets.

Bettina Schaller - President of the World Employment Confederation-Europe

At the heart of the debate around the future of work lies the issue of labour market security, which must be favored over job security. To fit the new reality, we must create a whole new social deal which embraces these new attitudes to life and work and which fosters the diversity that already exists in our labour markets.

Denis Pennel - Managing Director of the World Employment Confederation

Our membership to the World Employment Confederation-Europe not only brings value because it provides us with up-to-date information about EU policy developments and with the possibility to shape the position of the industry. It also gives us the opportunity to be directly involved in discussions with EU policymakers and such contacts would not be possible without the WEC.
