Committee on Employment and Social Affairs

On 16 January 2025, from 10:30 to 12:30, the EMPL Committee will hold an exchange of views with Enrico Letta, former Prime Minister of Italy on the social dimension of his report 'Much more than a market' submitted to the European Council in April 2024.

In the framework of the EP's 5th Gender Equality Week, the EMPL Committee organised an Exchange of views on "Ensuring gender equality in the labour market: addressing the gender pay gap and the ‘sticky floor’", on 12 December. The term ‘sticky floor’ refers to a discriminatory employment pattern that predominantly affects women, keeping them in lower job ranks with limited mobility and invisible barriers to career advancement.
