The workshop entitled “What future for the labor market in the EU? ” took place at the Council of Europe under the chairmanship of Amélie Barbier-Gauchard, with:
- Alfonso ARPAIA (Economist, European Commission, DG Employment and Social Affairs, Unit A-3: Country reforms): Labor market and wages in Europe / Heterogeneity of national labor markets

- Christophe BLOT (Economist, OFCE): What possible options in the EU to fight unemployment?
- Anne SANDER (MEP, European Parliament): What institutional solutions can be envisaged at EU level?
- The aim of this workshop was to reflect on the desirable developments in the European labor market, highlighting its originality and focusing in particular on the following questions: How do national labor markets operate in a very different way, EU? What evolutions wait? What are the possible options in the EU to fight unemployment? What is the relevance of introducing a European minimum wage? What about a European unemployment benefit? What role for collective bargaining between the social partners in this European environment? What institutional options are available in the EU?
