EuroHealthNet Report: European Semester for the Wellbeing of People and the Planet

This December, EuroHealthNet released its annual analysis of the European Semester. As the EU’s instrument for aligning Member States’ economic and social policies towards common EU goals, the Semester has great potential to make national economies more wellbeing-oriented.

Does it live up to that potential? The analysis finds that, while the Semester has made progress, more is needed to put social, health, and environmental goals on equal footing with fiscal and economic objectives. Only by doing so can it truly help deliver a Wellbeing Economy. The report includes:

1. An analysis of this year’s Semester cycle, Country-Specific Recommendations, and the new Social Convergence Framework;
2. A deep-dive into the indicators used to measure wellbeing and suggestions for more holistic indicators to use;
3. Recommendations to further improve the European Semester so it can deliver wellbeing for people and the planet.
