"Whilst the report itself states that ‘the lack of jobs is the problem for more than 18 million unemployed people in the EU and not insufficient occupational mobility’, the only solution it proposes is meaningless phrases such as ‘to bring the world of work and education systems closer together’. And, when it does come up with something more tangible – ‘to enable innovative enterprises to be set up’ – this announces assistance not for the victims of unemployment but for those responsible for it.
What good is mobility, however, if it simply makes the remaining unemployed more mobile? Unemployment affects every country in Europe and the relocation of the unemployed will not create a single new job, only more competition between job-seekers. And when the report discusses a policy intended to enable ‘workers and job-seekers to become highly skilled’, this is only a cynically worded desire for bosses in the European Union to have the most highly-qualified unemployed people in the world!
In order to prevent further unemployment, we must have binding measures to prevent mass redundancies. In order to create new jobs, public services that are useful to the community as a whole must take on new staff instead of reducing numbers."@en1
