Highlights from the EurActiv Debate on the European employment crisis. This event was organized by Fondation EurActiv and hosted by MEP Pervenche Beres. It was made possible with support from EuroCiett.

The recovery from the financial and economic crisis has been sluggish in most of Europe, and the 75% employment rate target that the European Union has pledged to reach by 2020 appears to be out of reach.

While some member states struggle with joblessness, the Germand and Swedish economies are roaring ahead — some say towards full employment. Is there a recipe out of the employment crisis? What can EU member states learn from one another?

Participating in this debate are:
- Jean-Louis de Brouwer, Director Employment, Lisbon Strategy and International Affairs at DG Employment, European Commission;
- Pervenche Beres, Chairperson of the employment and social affairs committee at the European Parliament and MEP;
- Annemarie Muntz, President of Eurociett;
- Liliane Volozinskis, Director, Social Policy and Vocational Training Committee at UEAPME.

The debate is moderated by Daniela Vincenti, Managing Editor of http://www.EurActiv.com
