    SUMMARY OF:

    Regulation (EU) No 1296/2013 on a European Union programme for employment and social innovation (EaSI)

    WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE REGULATION?

    The European programme for employment and social innovation (EaSI) 2014-2020 is an umbrella programme that aims to contribute to the implementation of Europe 2020, including its headline targets, integrated guidelines and flagship initiatives, by providing financial support for the Union’s objectives in terms of promoting a high level of quality and sustainable employment, guaranteeing adequate and decent social protection, combating social exclusion and poverty, and improving working conditions. Following the proclamation of the European Pillar of Social Rights, which sets out guidelines for the support of fair and well-functioning labour markets and welfare systems, EaSI is an essential tool to assist the Commission in reinforcing the EU’s social dimension.

    This regulation establishes a European Union programme for employment and social innovation. EaSI aims to deliver sustainable and long-term growth and jobs, reduce divergence between EU countries and help to reduce social inequality.
