Les systèmes européens de protection sociale présentent des déséquilibres, en particulier pour les travailleurs occupant des formes d’emploi atypiques et nouvelles. Cela laisse beaucoup sans couverture de protection sociale adéquate, en particulier les femmes qui reçoivent souvent des pensions plus faibles en raison des écarts d'emploi. Malgré les initiatives de l’UE déployées dans le cadre du socle européen des droits sociaux, des lacunes persistent, appelant à des améliorations juridiques et politiques. Cette audition invitera les parties prenantes concernées à débattre de ces déséquilibres et à recommander des moyens de parvenir à des systèmes de protection sociale plus équitables et de combler les écarts de pension dans tous les types d’emploi.

The Western Balkans Civil Society High-Level Conference will bring together EESC members, organised civil society representatives from the Western Balkan countries, and members of organised civil society and officials from Slovenia. It will mark 20 years of the biggest EU enlargement thus far, and 20 years since Slovenia joined the Union. The conference will be organised in close cooperation with and support from our partners and will complement the EESC’s work, such as the Western Balkans Civil Society Forum, which the EESC has organised every two years since 2006. The event will provide an opportunity for participants to exchange views on the needed reforms in the Western Balkans and in the EU to maintain enlargement policy as one of the most important EU success stories. It will also be an opportunity to discuss the current situation of civil society in the region and the need for its better inclusion in the accession process. The participants will adopt conclusions addressed to national authorities and European institutions.
Recognizing sustainable finance as a critical element in the pursuit of sustainability, this event aims to explore the intersectionality between biodiversity conservation and climate finance, shedding light on their interdependencies, challenges, and opportunities and providing input to the EESC own-initiative opinions (A comprehensive strategy for biodiversity at COP16 and Climate finance).
