a  reorientation proposal  for  the  European  social  model
What is S.U.P.I. web site?
In order to understand the growing phenomenon of precarious employment and its impact on the job market and on society, two aspects must be studied at European level: the economic crisis and labour market reforms.
A European political project that can match the need to reorganise the economic and productive system with the needs of a new social system would be of great help. The challenge of a European Social Model capable of combining the different experiences of the Member States and of rekindling the relationship between institutions and citizens, should not be overlooked.
A European Social Model designed to promote rights and delineate individual and collective responsibility could represent the focal objective to reach.

This web site was born to share objectives, opinions and experiences between European Members and to make a first step in order to create a scientific community dealing with the issue “Social Uncertainty, Precarity, Inequality”, to find a way out to lead the way to greater civil community between social groups and foster trust in a joint vision of future progress.
