A
significant increase in poverty among the working age population is one of the
most tangible social consequences of the economic crisis. A gradual reduction
of unemployment levels may not be enough to reverse this situation if wage
polarisation continues, notably due to a rise in part-time work. This is one of
the main findings of the 2013 Employment
and Social Developments in Europe Review, which also looks into the
positive impact of social benefits on the likelihood of getting back into
employment, the consequences of persistent gender imbalances, and the social
dimension of the Economic and Monetary Union.
