ETUI Policy Brief
European Economic and Employment Policy
ETUI Policy Briefs are designed to present short, critical, policy-orientated analysis on a topical issue.
Each Policy Brief is based on analytical work that is conducted either by the ETUI or its cooperation partners.
Past Policy briefs have covered a number of key topical subjects, including flexicurity, leave and holiday entitlements, a European minimum wage policy, smart growth, accession to the euro area, and the economic and financial crisis in Europe.
From 2009 the ETUI Policy Brief European Economic and Employment Policy – which is edited by Senior Researcher Andrew Watt – will continue to focus on economic and employment issues. A separate sub-series is being established covering social policy and health and safety issues. You can elect to receive either or both sub-series, delivered free of charge to your mail-box.

Your comments on and proposals for articles are welcome awatt@etui.org. Proposals for articles should be between 2-3,000 words and be policy orientated.
