The purpose of this report is to assess the performance for the Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) strand of the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) for 2021-2023.

The European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) supports sustainable and inclusive growth across Europe by investing in people, skills, and promoting social cohesion.

This study delivers a synthesis of the available evidence on 16 ESF-co-funded instruments in Germany offering support to the individual costs of job-related adult learning, the individual costs of up-and reskilling, instruments that provide contributions to the up- and reskilling costs of employers.

The study outlines the main findings, conclusions and lessons learned regarding the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, EU added value and visibility of the FEAD support provided as well as the complementarity and coherence with other related funds and policies in the 2014-2020 programming period.

ESDE quarterly reviews periodically provide an overview of recent social and labour market developments in the EU. The thematic part of this review focuses on underemployment among part-time workers in the EU as well as the possible reasons why these workers work less hours than they want to.

The present study was carried out to provide the Commission with a comprehensive, evidence-based analysis of the context, challenges, opportunities, and trends in algorithmic management (AM) in the workplace.

The way we work is changing due to developments associated with the digital and green transition as well as demographic change, as a driver of current and future labour shortages.

The green transition is affecting the entire economy and is leading to significant transformations in some specific sectors, including sectors such as the energy industries, mining and quarrying, construction, manufacturing, or waste management.

Labour mobility and migration have long been a defining feature of the European Union (EU), fostering economic integration, cultural exchange, and social dynamism.
