I welcomed this document because due to persisting structural weaknesses and the economic crisis, unemployment rates rose from 9.5% to 10.2% in 2010 and 2012 respectively, equalling a total of 6 million job losses since 2008. The issues related to employment, social inclusion and combating poverty are increasing while divergences between Member States and regions are widening. Unemployment is particularly high among young people, partly due to mismatches between skills supply and demand but often also due to disregard for their level of education. Reaching a high level of employment is also necessary to implement fiscal consolidation and the recovery of the economy, both by maintaining the level of internal consumption and by making more people contribute to the financing of the welfare state. On their own, the commitments set out in Member States’ national reform programmes are often insufficient to meet most of the EU-level targets stipulated in the EU 2020 Strategy. The EU’s 2012 Annual Growth Survey calls for resolute action to step up job creation and economic recovery. The Member States must adopt or maintain growth-friendly policies, including the prioritisation of spending in the areas of education, life-long learning, research and innovation, despite the austerity measures necessitated by the economic crisis and the need to minimise the burden of public debt, especially in the euro area."@en1
