Employment and social developments in Europe 2025

Produced by the European Commission’s DG Employment, the report analyses labour market participation in the EU, focusing on women, older people, and migrants. It examines the barriers keeping over 51 million residents aged 20–64 outside the workforce and explores policy measures to increase participation, including flexible work, pension reforms, affordable care, skills recognition, and supported employment.

It analyses:

• How EU policies can enhance labour market participation for women, older workers, and migrants.

• Measures to unlock additional labour supply and strengthen workforce sustainability.

The data source is EU labour market statistics and policy analysis conducted by DG Employment.
