Summary:

This Report is intended to contribute to the process of building up a common pool of information by focusing on what has happened in the recent past to employment and unemployment in individual Member States and the measures introduced in this area. As such it differs in some degree in terms of format from reports of previous years, though it retains the same emphasis on quantitative analysis of developments which is critical both for a better understanding of employment problems and the formulation of more effective policies.

A major focus is on the key policy areas which, building on the analysis of the Commission White Paper 'Growth, Competitiveness, Employment', were identified in the conclusions of the Essen Council meeting as being of critical importance for tackling the Union's employment problems. These are considered in turn after reviewing recent developments across the Union.
