2. Europe 2020: 5 EU targets
By 2020:
75 % employment rate (% of population aged years)
3% investment in R&D (% of EU’s GDP)
“20/20/20” climate/energy targets met (incl. 30% emissions reduction if conditions are right)
< 10% early school leavers & min. 40% hold tertiary degree
20 million less people should be at risk of poverty
Supported by 7 Flagship Initiatives
These targets articulate where we want Europe to be in 2020
Highest political commitment has been given to these targets- heads of state or government
75 % employment rate (% of population aged years)
Requires effort equal to job growth
< 10% early school leavers & min. 40% hold tertiary degree
Requires funding
20 million less people should be at risk of poverty
Difficult as many will retire and intra-EU labour mobility will grow
These targets are translated in 27 national targets. They will have to add up to EU level target.
