Recital 32
(32) ESF+ lays down provisions intended to achieve freedom of movement for workers on a non-discriminatory basis by ensuring the close cooperation of t. The central employment services of Member States working with one another and with the Commission. The European network of employment services, the social partners and the Commission should cooperate closely. The European network of employment services, with the involvement of the social partners, should promote a better functioning of the labour markets by facilitating the cross-border mobility of workers under fair conditions and a greater transparency of information on the labour markets. The ESF+ scope also includes developing and supporting targeted mobility schemes with a view to filling high-quality vacancies where labour market shortcomings have been identified. ESF+ also covers cross-border partnerships between regional public employment services and the social partners and the work done in the context of those partnerships to foster voluntary, fair mobility and the transparency and integration of cross-border labour markets, through the provision of information, advice and employment services. In many border regions these partnerships play an important role in the development of a genuinely European labour market.

Article 6 – paragraph 1
1. All programmes implemented under the ESF+ strand under shared management, as well as the operations supported by the Employment and Social Innovation and Health strands shall ensure gender equality between men and women throughout their preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation (gender mainstreaming). They shall also promote equal opportunities for all, without discrimination based on sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belief, disability, age or sexual orientation throughout their preparation, implementation, monitoring and evaluation. In addition, the Member States and the Commission shall also implement targeted actions with the aim, in particular, of increasing the sustainable participation and career progression of women in employment, in return for a living wage, thus combating the feminisation of poverty, reducing gender-based segregation, combating gender stereotypes in the labour market and in education and training, and promoting the reconciliation of work and personal life for all, as well as the equal sharing of care responsibilities between men and women.
