L'UE deve affrontare i problemi dell'occupazione nelle regioni ultraperiferiche

Questo pomeriggio, in seno alla Commissione per l'occupazione e gli affari sociali, Max Orville ha presentato il suo parere sulla strategia dell'Unione europea per le regioni ultraperiferiche. Con questo testo, vuole dare piena considerazione alle questioni essenziali per questi territori: le politiche sociali e occupazionali.

Le regioni ultraperiferiche devono affrontare gli stessi problemi sociali delle regioni della cosiddetta Europa continentale, ma la situazione è aggravata dalla loro lontananza e insularità.

Fighting unemployment, especially youth unemployment, must be a priority.  He therefore called for better communication on the possibilities of using European funds and tools such as the ESF+ and the European Youth Guarantee. In a very concrete way, he would like to see a digital one-stop shop set up, bringing together all local stakeholders such as the private sector, universities and local authorities. The aim of this one-stop shop would be to help young people find their first job or become entrepreneurs.

He also wants the EU to pay more attention to the impoverishment of women in the outermost regions. Acting to empower women financially is, in his view, the most effective way of combating insecurity. Thus, by promoting appropriate training and stable, high-quality jobs, it will enable women to provide for themselves in the long term.

A stimulus is therefore needed to create jobs and develop skills in these territories. This is exactly what he is calling for with the establishment of social free zones in the outermost regions.
