Policy Brief No.1, August 2013

McKinley, Terry (Centre for Development Policy and Reseach); Cozzi, Giovanni (FEPS); Michell, Jo (Centre for Development Policy and Reseach); Bargawi Hannah (Centre for Development Policy and Reseach)

This Policy Brief explores a policy scenario of boosting the powers of the EU Federal Government as a means to spearhead an employment-led economic recovery in Europe. The outcomes for 2020 and 2030 that are generated by this scenario are contrasted with those produced by a scenario of continuing the present trend of austerity measures.
