Summary of Outcomes of Social Indicator Workshop

The Horizon 2020 project EUROSHIP "Closing gaps in social citizenship: New tools to foster social resilience in Europe" will provide new, gender-sensitive, comparative knowledge about the effectiveness of changing social protection policies targeted at reducing poverty and social exclusion in Europe, to further implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights and Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development towards an upward social convergence between Member States. The final stage of EUROSHIP, to develop and implement evidence-based policy recommendations, depends crucially on EU social indicators that can be employed to monitor the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights to enable European citizens to exercise social rights in a more effective way and contribute to a cohesive and resilient Europe. The consortium focused on indicators for poverty (representing the Security dimension of social citizenship) and social exclusion (representing the Autonomy and Influence dimension of social citizenship).
