Challenges of Employment and Competitiveness in Europe
June 8, 2025
Stefano Mallias, the President of Employers in the EU, highlights the loss of 20 million workers in Europe over the past three years due to complex regulations and a lack of suitable skills. He notes that access to funding is critical, and the report of 75% of employers facing difficulties in finding adequately skilled workers in 2023 is concerning. Europe needs to simplify regulations and strengthen its autonomy in the global market. The strategy for the EU to become a global leader is more urgent than ever.
