Konvergenca in socialna kohezija
Navzgor usmerjena konvergenca je izrednega pomena za projekt Evropske unije. Pri določenih ekonomskih in socialnih kazalnikih navzgor usmerjena konvergenca pomeni, da države članice v povprečju izboljšujejo svojo uspešnost s približevanjem cilju politike ali družbeno sprejemljivi usmeritvi, hkrati pa zmanjšujejo razlike med njimi. Na ta način države z manj uspešnostjo dohitevajo najuspešnejše, medtem ko obe rasteta.

This policy brief assesses upward convergence across the EU since the 2017 European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR) proclamation. Using the headline indicators of the Social Scoreboard and applying Eurofound’s convergence framework, which is grounded in scientific literature and the most commonly used statistical measures of convergence, the analysis examines the key dimensions of the EPSR. The results show that significant progress has been made in core labour market indicators, such as employment and unemployment.
However, challenges remain. Improvements have been rather limited in reducing overall poverty and housing cost burdens. Divergence is evident in areas such as basic digital skills and household disposable income, indicating widening disparities. Critically, indicators in fundamental areas such as the disability employment gap and self-reported unmet needs for medical care show concerning downward trends. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that, despite aggregate improvements, inclusive growth has not reached all socio-demographic groups, with vulnerable groups experiencing widening relative disparities. The findings offer crucial insights for the new EPSR Action Plan and the upcoming Porto Social Forum Summit in September 2025.

The political dimension of social cohesion in Europe
This report investigates the political dimensions of social cohesion in Europe, offering a 20-year perspective derived from 10 rounds of the European Social Survey. It scrutinises trends and regional variations in political participation, examining correlations with levels of institutional distrust and discontent. In addition, the report explores political engagement amid the COVID-19 pandemic, utilising insights from the Living, working and COVID-19 e-survey. Unemployment emerges as the primary driver of political disengagement, a pivotal finding of the analysis.
Furthermore, the report uncovers significant disparities in political engagement across European regions. Regions with well-educated populations tend to exhibit higher levels of political activity, and economic prosperity and migration rates have only a modest influence on political activity.
The report also highlights the variation in institutional distrust across regions. Nordic countries display markedly lower levels of distrust in their institutions than continental countries, whereas in eastern European and Mediterranean countries levels are markedly higher.

Green, clean and keen to converge? A convergence analysis of environmental quality of life in the EU
This report explores the dynamics of the environmental performance of the EU Member States and the extent to which the disparities in their performance have narrowed since the early 2000s. The report is a product of cooperation between Eurofound and the European Environment Agency, with the technical expertise in convergence of the former meeting the expertise in European environmental issues of the latter. It focuses on three levels of analysis: headline indicators, residential-level indicators and household-level indicators. In order to explore the multifaceted issue of environmental quality of life in the EU, the report investigates environmental indicators through a convergence analysis. The results suggest that the EU is on the right track to becoming carbon neutral, although the speed of the greening process varies among the Member States. A fast and steady improvement in performance can be seen for most of the indicators. One noteworthy finding is that the economic downturns of the past two decades negatively affected the household-level indicators examined, which focused on energy poverty.

Economic and social inequalities in Europe in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic had varying impacts on social groups, depending on existing disadvantages, and it was widely believed that it triggered a rise in inequalities across different areas of life. Using indicators from the EU’s Multidimensional Inequality Monitoring Framework (MIMF), this report shows how inequality in the spheres of income, health, employment and education changed between 2010 and 2020. It also examines the main drivers of this change during the pandemic and explores the relationships between government policies in several domains and inequality.
