Schrijverspanel 7 maart 2019: Decent incomes for all - Improving policies in Europe UITGESTELD

Due to a number of cancellations, the panel discussion of the book Decent incomes for all - Improving policies in Europe, of 7 March has been postponed. We will inform you as soon as a new date has been set.
In 'Decent incomes for all – improving policies in Europe', the authors shed new light an recent poverty trends in the European Union and the corresponding responses by European welfare states.

They analyze the effect of social and fiscal policies before, during, and after the recent economic crisis and study the impact of alternative policy packages on poverty and inequality. The volume also explores how social investment and local initiatives of social innovation can contribute to tackling poverty, while recognizing that there are indeed structural constraints on the increase of the social floor and difficult trade-offs involved in reconciling work and poverty reduction.

Time: 15:30 - 17:00 hrs
