The Commission on 9 February 2005 launched its new Social Agenda for modernising Europe's social model under the revamped Lisbon Strategy for growth and jobs. The new agenda focussed on providing jobs and equal opportunities for all and ensuring that the benefits of the EU's growth and jobs drive reach everyone in society. By modernising labour markets and social protection systems, it was aimed at helping people seize the opportunities created by international competition, technological advances and changing population patterns while protecting the most vulnerable in society.
