Social Platform has two invitations for its members to participate in the Swedish Presidency's High Level Conference on Labour Market Inclusion which will take place in Stockholm on October 26-27. Invitation, programme and description of the workshops have been e-mailed to members.

• If your network is interested, please nominate someone and supply the name, organisation and contact details to Anne by September 25. We would also appreciate a very short paragraph on your motivation for going to the conference. The decision on the composition of the delegation will be taken by Conny Reuter and will take into account expertise, gender balance and balance between members.

• Among others, the conference will tackle the following issues:

1. What actions are needed to reach a labour force participation rate that can secure the future welfare of European citizens?

2. What are the main challenges facing the European labour market over the next ten years?

3. Increasing access to employment through an active social security policy

4. An inclusive labour market in time of transition – the responsibility of social partners

If you have any question, do not hesitate to contact Anne.
