Eurochild has prepared a 2019 report on the European Semester, 'New Opportunities for Investing in Children', with key recommendations for the coming period. You can download the full report HERE or scroll through data for different countries using the Eurochild interactive map.

This latest report brings four key recommendations:

1.    Ensure that children are included in the next policy framework driving the European Semester;
2.    Use the link between EU funding and the European Semester to promote the social dimension of policies;
3.    Include a focus on children’s well-being in the EU’s analysis of national policy development in the Country Reports;
4.   Make the engagement of civil society in the European Semester a requirement for both Member States and the European Commission.

The European Semester is the EU’s economic, social and employment policy framework that runs on a yearly cycle.
