In Episode 8 of PESPod, European Commissioner Nicolas Schmit reflects on the “huge challenges” facing Europe’s labour markets, and the important roles that the PES Network and PES have to play in responding to labour market crises and managing transitions. Commissioner Schmit shares his recollections of the unfolding drama of the Covid crisis and the EU’s efforts to find the right solutions. “The SURE measure was really put into place in a very short period. I’m very glad that we managed this. Millions of jobs could be saved.” He recognises the valuable contribution of PES and the PES Network to better managing this crisis. The Commissioner also talks about how skills are now “the key element of all active labour market policies” - particularly around the urgent digital and green transitions. “People have to get the right skills. But they should not be left alone to do that. Here, PES are an important player,” he says. Later on in the podcast, he shares the key lessons he believes Europe can take from the pandemic. He highlights the value of “strong social frameworks and institutions” when reacting quickly in a crisis, giving people basic security and supporting their ability to maintain their income. He emphasises the role of social partners, well-managed immigration and the strength of the EU recovery. “Leaving people outside, leaving people behind is really something we cannot afford,” he says.
