"Social investment in essence means targeting resources, including EU funds, on policies that are proven to help prepare people for life’s challenges, rather than waiting to ‘repair’ the damage caused by inaction. The experience of European countries with well-developed social investment strategies shows that they can help reconcile social and economic goals and lead to more sustainable public finances and growth, more and better jobs, better educational outcomes and lower levels of poverty and social exclusion. Social indicators must have the same importance as economic and fiscal indicators under European economic governance. I welcome MEPs’ support for the frontloading and upward revision of the Youth Employment initiative, which will be used to support Youth Guarantee schemes to help tackle Europe’s youth unemployment crisis, and for my amendment (paragraph 75) calling on the Commission, when considering how the social dimension of a genuine economic and monetary union can be strengthened, to address Member States’ public investment needs, particularly those relating to the social and education targets of the Europe 2020 strategy. I am disappointed, however, that MEPs voted against calling on the Commission to elaborate on the feasibility and the added value of introducing a minimum unemployment allowance."@en1
