Social inequality and EU economic policy

Abstract

This panel discusses issues around inequality, social exclusion, and impact of recessions on the gap between rich and poor. Papers in this panel discuss a range of instruments (European Semester, EU social policy instruments, the RRF and the NGEU) as they examine a range of case studies, that span a long time frame, including studies of social policy over the past decades, the Great Recession, the polycrises, and the more recent Covid-19 crisis.
