Joerres will co-chair the plenary session titled Delivering Inclusive Growth: Lessons from the Lisbon Strategy and also spoke at the interactive session; Managing Demographic Drivers: The Talent Gap Question.
Delivering Inclusive Growth: Lessons from the Lisbon Strategy
The Lisbon Strategy launched in 2000 set the goal of making Europe the most competitive economy in the world with full employment by 2010, whereas the new 10-year vision focuses on fostering a high-employment economy delivering social and territorial cohesion ("inclusive growth"). What are the lessons from the 2010 objectives that can ensure that the 2020 vision is realized?
Managing Demographic Drivers: The Talent Gap Question
The Europe 2020 Strategy will not succeed unless the European Union can draw on a pool of skilled, innovative and creative young people. What mixture of immigration, education and mobility policies is needed to enable European businesses to compete in the global marketplace? This session is on the record.
