Policy Study

01/12/2021

FEPS and Solidar’s 2021 edition of the Social Rights Monitor provides an insight into the state of social rights in different European countries. The third edition of the Social Rights Monitor assesses the state of social rights in Europe. In this year’s edition 16 countries have been analysed: 13 EU countries – Bulgaria, Croatia, Czechia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain and the Netherlands – 2 candidate countries – North Macedonia and Serbia- and the United Kingdom.

SOLIDAR’s members and partners have created 16 National Strategy Groups (NSGs), one in each of the countries covered by the Monitor, composed of experts from CSOs, trade unions and academia. The Social Rights Monitor has been developed based on their observations from the ground and complemented with statistical data and scientific findings. The Monitor, therefore, also reflects the expertise of civil society fighting for social justice in Europe and constitutes a valuable evidence base for policymaking.
