Promoting active inclusion
"Active inclusion" of people at risk of poverty and excluded from the labour market entails a comprehensive policy mix combining an adequate level of income support with a link to the labour market and better access to services.
The main challenge is to ensure that social protection policies effectively contribute to mobilising people who are capable of working while achieving the wider objective of providing a decent living standard to those who are and will remain outside the labour market.
The Peer Reviews in social inclusion represent an effective tool to share good practice and enhance policies aimed at integrating excluded people into mainstream society.

In-work poverty and labour market segmentation in the EU
- Until now in-work poverty and labour market segmentation have not received sufficient attention in the EU’s efforts to tackle poverty and social exclusion. However, given that the 17 million working poor in the EU represent about 15% of the new Europe 2020 social inclusion target, this is likely to become a more important issue in the future. The analysis of in-work poverty and labour market segmentation presented here is a first step to fill this gap and to suggest how progress can be made on this issue. It is also intended as a contribution to the monitoring of the EU “Active Inclusion” process, which was launched at the end of 2008 and which is a crucial part of the EU’s efforts to tackle poverty and social exclusion.
