Read FEPS new book ‘A new Gender Equality Contract for Europe’!

Just as the European Commission is about to enter its new term and as concerns have been high on the lack of ambition on equality policy, this publication offers a timely reflection on the need for a new gender contract for Europe!
Read the new open-access book “A New Gender Equality Contract for Europe”, which argues why gender equality should become a unifying force (the glue!) towards more egalitarian, solidaristic and caring societies.
The topics include education, reproductive health, labour, care, cultural rights, democracy, climate, and Feminist Foreign Policy. Featuring gender experts from diverse disciplines and backgrounds across Europe, the book connects feminist academic intelligence with hands-on policymaking.

By FEPS and Fondation Jean-Jaurès, published by Palgrave Macmillan.

WSI European Collective Bargaining Report 2023/2024

Real wages in the European Union continued their decline in 2023—despite an acceleration in nominal wage growth and falling inflation rates. For the current year, there are tentative signs only of a slow recovery of the purchasing power of wages. A resumption of real wage growth would stabilise the functional distribution of income and strengthen domestic demand. However, even under this benign scenario, the crisis is not over from workers' point of view: they have borne the brunt of the real income losses associated with the energy-price shock resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The lingering reduction in real wage levels means that wage policy still needs to catch up to contribute to a fairer distribution of the burden between labour and capital.
