This timely new publication revisits the Social Scoreboard published by the European Commission (EC) on the 26th of April 2017. The European Commission’s Social Scoreboard proposes 35 indicators to monitor 12 areas of principles associated with the EPSR and provides an interactive tool to compare countries and time periods. This publication provides an assessment of the proposed indicators by revisiting the headline indicators and where relevant, proposing alternative or additional indicators. This publication is not proposing an alternative scoreboard, but rather aims to provide a first assessment of the European Commission proposal on monitoring social convergence.
