Annex – Guideline 7 – paragraph –1 (new)
The Member States will set their national targets for increasing the employment rate for women and men to 75% by 2020, in particular through greater labour market participation of young people, older workers, the low-skilled and people with disabilities and the better integration of legal migrants.

Annex – Guideline 7 – paragraph 2
Annex – Guideline 7 – paragraph 2
The Member States should step up social dialogue and tackle labour market segmentation with measures addressing temporary and precarious employment, underemployment and undeclared work. Professional mobility should be rewarded. The quality of jobs and employment conditions should be addressed by fighting low-wages and by ensuring adequate social security also for those on fixed contracts and the self-employed. Employment servicin cooperation with the social partners should increase the employment rate through activation measures, in particular for low skilled and people requiring particular protection and/or support, through advisory services and education and professional training adapted to the labour market's needs. The social economy should be supported in this context. Furthermore, the Member States should increase the employability of legal migrants with appropriate programmes. Continued efforts and innovative programmes are also required to reintegrate people with disabilities into the labour market, including through subsidised jobs. Furthermore, the Member States should remove the barriers which make it more difficult for people to enter the labour market for the first time, support the creation of jobs, foster social innovation and increase the quality and effectiveness of job placement services, including public employment services. In particular, working time rules should be more flexible, so as to allow a work process which conforms to the requirements of the compatibility of family and work, and allows a more flexible exit from working life into retirement. External and internal flexicurity strategies to increase flexibility, to be able to react more efficiently to production cycles, should be strengthened and open to all, including young people and those threatened by unemployment with personalised services targeting those furthest away from the labour marketbetter applied through active labour market policies and adequate social security systems, so that changing jobs does not lead to disproportionate financial costs. These should be accompanied by a clear commitment to actively support job- seeking. New forms of work organisation, such as atypical temporary work, part- time work and teleworking are used more and more frequently in the working world without being legally controlled. They must not lead to a reduction in individual and collective labour rights and social protection for the people concerned.

Annex – Guideline 7 – paragraph 3
In order to increase competitiveness and raise participation levels, particularly for the low-skilled, and in line with economic policy guideline 2, Member States should review tax and benefit systems and the capacity of public services to provide the necessary support. Member States should increase labour force participation through policies to promote active ageing, gender equality and equal pay and labour market integration of young people, disabled, legal migrants and other vulnerable groups. Work-life balance policies with the provision of affordable care and innovation in work organisation should be geared to raising employment rates, particularly among youth, older workers and women, in particular to retain highly-skilled women in scientific and technical fields. Member States should also remove barriers to labour market entry for newcomers, support self- employment and job creation in areas including green employment and care and promote social innovationthis context, the resources of the European Social Fund should be fully used to increase employability and job quality with measures to develop personal skills and to fulfil quality requirements in seminal jobs. In order to promote professional mobility, it is necessary for Member States to increase people’s openness to mobility by providing incentives therefor.

Access to high-quality general and vocational training and the reintegration of school drop-outs in the education system should be possible for everyone at any time. The Member States should align investments in the education system so that the objective of increasing the level of skills among the active population is reached, taking into account also learning in informal and non-formal contexts. In doing so, the reforms regarding employability in particular should be aimed at ensuring, through training or knowledge in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT), the acquisition of the core skills which every employee needs to be successful in a knowledge-based economy. Measures should be taken to ensure that the educational mobility of young people and teachers becomes the norm. Member States should improve the operformance of up-skilling and anticipation policies should help identify areas for improvement and increase the responsiveness of education and training systems to labour market needs.

Annex – Guideline 8 a (new)
Guideline 8a: Strengthening social and economic cohesion policy in support of employment Member States commit themselves to arranging, complementing, coordinating and adjusting their national targets, within and among each other, such that imbalances in economic development between regions will be reduced. The Member States are aware that cohesion policy represents an effective and supportive but not subordinated instrument to the guidelines by accommodating regional specificities, supporting regions to overcome their socio-economical difficulties and reducing disparities. An integrated approach, multi-level governance and partnership principles should be the core of governance and deliverer of the strategy, whereas the regional and local level in particular have to play a crucial role as vehicles to reach the countless economic and social actors living and producing in the Union, in particular the SMEs. Therefore, cohesion policy is not just the source of stable financial allocations, but also a powerful instrument for the economic development and so an employment instrument for all Union regions. The Member States should invest more in transport, energy, telecommunication and IT infrastructure and make full use of the European Structural Funds. The participation of potential beneficiaries in Union cofounded programmes should be encouraged by simplification of delivery systems. To achieve this, Member States should create synergies between their cohesion policies and other existing sectoral policies, in accordance with an integrated approach, since cohesion is not a cost, but gives strength, taps unused potential, reduces structural differences between countries and regions, expands growth and improves the competitiveness of Union regions in a globalised world, counterbalances the effects of the global economic crisis and generates Union social capital.
