Union for the Mediterranean Regional Employment Review

10-09-2012

 

In the Southern and Eastern Mediterranean countries, the first half of 2011 saw a succession of social revolts and regime changes – the so-called Arab Spring. Among the many complex precursors and implications of these popular uprisings, one important dimension is the question of employment (including issues such as joblessness and/or lack of decent jobs) and the ability of individuals and families to support themselves. The revolts have drawn attention to employment prospects in the region and highlighted the importance of EU cooperation with its neighbours in the field of employment. The reform of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) undertaken by the European Commission in the first half of 2011 places greater importance on job creation and inclusive growth (European Commission, 2011a, 2011b
and 2011c).
