Trends in income inequality

Question for written answer E-009303-15
to the Commission
Rule 130
David Casa (PPE)

At a press conference on the OECD flagship report on income inequality, the Commission pointed to the trend towards increasing income inequality, which it identified as a ‘clear disruption in the social fabric of many Member States’.

As part of the concrete initiatives the Commission is implementing to address inequality in the EU, the Commission mentions the skills agenda and the ongoing efforts to strengthen work-based learning. I believe that these initiatives are crucial.

Could the Commission elaborate on this, and provide some insight into the challenges it foresees in this regard?
