Europe 2020 project aims at boosting young people’s opportunities in society by contributing to enhance those skills which will be necessary for them to succeed in 2020 Europe and which will facilitate their access to quality employment no matter what the gender or social background is. The main areas addressed are connected to the promotion of entrepreneurship, the development of technical and digital skills as well as foreign languages competence. Furthermore, a special attention is also placed on broadening students’ horizons and improving their intercultural and social competence as a way to facilitate their work in international teams. We are convinced that offering new perspectives and supporting their formation makes a positive and active contribution to young people’s employability and well-being. In fact, during project meetings, pupils and teachers get involved in numerous tasks and workshops which address the project priorities.

Newsletter September, 2016 Gender and Social Equality: Statistics in Germany
Ranked 11th in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report 2008, Germany’s record on gender equality is mixed. While political participation of women remains high and public commitment to gender equality is evident through gender mainstreaming programmes at all levels of government, salary gaps between men and women are among the worst in Europe. While there is parity of educational attainment at secondary and tertiary level, the subject and vocation choices of women (largely in education, humanities) partially explain later salary gaps and differences in educational opportunities. The Federal Government has launched a programme encouraging women to study engineering-, technology- or science-related subjects to counter this trend.

As it is shown in the graphs, Germany’s jobless rate is at the lowest level since re-unification. Germany’s is the largest economy in the euro zone and has served as an economic anchor for the rest of the member states, which gives it considerable power in economic dealings.
What do figures show with respect to gender and social equality in the employment field?
