By setting out 20 key principles, the proposed Pillar\u00a0is designed to enable convergence regarding better working and living conditions within the EMU. To support fair and well-functioning labour markets these principles evolve around three main categories: equal opportunities and access to the labour market, fair working conditions and social protection and inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>In parallel, the Commission published its <a href=\"http:\/\/europeanmovement.us7.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=10e494ab1e24f94e56642e55c&amp;id=103140a965&amp;e=8a525fb3df\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reflection paper<\/a> on the social dimension of Europe,\u00a0highlighting\u00a0three possible scenarios with different levels of integration. Furthermore, an online tool to monitor the implementation process of Social Pillar, the <a href=\"http:\/\/europeanmovement.us7.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=10e494ab1e24f94e56642e55c&amp;id=72030fda48&amp;e=8a525fb3df\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social scoreboard<\/a>, has been launched.<\/p>\n<p>As we stress in our <a href=\"http:\/\/europeanmovement.us7.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=10e494ab1e24f94e56642e55c&amp;id=55cbb4207c&amp;e=8a525fb3df\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Policy Position on the European Pillar of Social Rights<\/a>, the Social\u00a0Pillar could\u00a0enable social justice and equality not just within the EMU but in the EU as a whole. In our position we also touch upon the issues of achieving equality among self- and other employed workers, gender equality concerning equal parental leave for mothers and fathers, as well as streamlining the social dimension\u00a0into current processes, such as the European Semester.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Input from the European Movement International<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The European Movement International strongly believes in the need of having a social rights pillar and welcomes the Commissions actions taken to ensure a successful implementation process. However, in our <a href=\"http:\/\/europeanmovement.us7.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=10e494ab1e24f94e56642e55c&amp;id=82db29fdb4&amp;e=8a525fb3df\">Policy Position<\/a> we emphasise that in order to see it prosper, Europe needs to change the narrative that perceives a social model as an obstacle to competitiveness and economic growth.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, more focus should be laid on people without a secure job and on achieving equality regarding flexible and secure labour contracts for all types of employees. In our <a href=\"http:\/\/europeanmovement.us7.list-manage1.com\/track\/click?u=10e494ab1e24f94e56642e55c&amp;id=f35e213b5c&amp;e=8a525fb3df\">Policy Position<\/a> we also discuss the European Pillar&#8217;s role in the Future of Europe scenarios in more detail, while looking at newly emerging factors and pressing issues such as technological progress, social security and pension systems, education and training as well as health and youth unemployment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_large\"><\/div><div class=\"w-separator size_medium with_line width_50 thick_3
