This module aims to achieve a double objective: to explain how the EU's employment strategies are working and to what extent they influence the employment policies of the various member countries, particularly Spain. 
But policies are only understandable if we look at the economic context and the different labor realities of the countries that make up the EU. For these reasons, the existence of different employment models and the effects 
of the economic context are taken into account; distinguishing the years of expansion from those of recession and emphasizing the different effects of the crisis, now in decline, on the member countries of the EU in terms of 
employment.
										
											
										
											Based on the above, the module raises a series of questions -presented in four thematic areas- to answer with the theoretical and empirical elements that we can have today in a comparative perspective. In summary, the
following topics are addressed in these areas:
										
											
										
											 I) Data on the labor market in the EU member countries and its evolution (session 1). Characteristics of the European models of employment in the last 20 years. The European Employment Strategy, national employment 
policies and their changes (session 2).
										
											
										
											 II) Employment policies aimed at young people in the EU and their changes as a result of the crisis. Typology of European regimes of transition between training and employment and its link with youth trajectories towards 
employment. Analysis of EU employment policies aimed at young people (session 3).
										
											
										
											 III) The sources and norms of community law that regulate working conditions in aspects of basic employment policies for their good purpose: hiring, regulation of the conditions of fixed-term, part-time employment, etc. 
(sessions 4 and 5)
										
											
										
											 IV) Local employment policies, local development and its relationship with the European Employment Strategy. The criteria for activation in the EU and the concretion of active employment policies in the territory to promote 
social cohesion (sessions 6, 7 and 8).
										
											
										
											 The analysis carried out in the different thematic areas will allow students to better understand EU policies, especially capturing their application in Spain, while addressing the differences that continue to exist between EU member countries.

											SESSIONS
										
											
										
											 Thematic area I: Models, strategy and national employment policies in the EU 
										
											
										
											 -Session 1. Introduction to the module (October 1). 
Description of the operation of the course, its content and the specification of the evaluation mechanisms that will be used. The importance of employment policies in the EU to tackle the effects of the crisis. 
Trends and data on employment in the EU in recent years, with special attention to the Spanish case.
										
											
										
											 Readings for debate 
-European Commission (2011), Employment Policy (Social Europe guide vol. 1), Luxembourg, Office for Official Publications of the European Communities.
										
											
										
											 
										
											 Session 2. European Employment Strategy and national employment policies: from the period of expansion to the period of crisis and its exit (October 8). 
Changes in employment are linked to the flexibility strategy and globalization. The European Commission develops a common strategy to face the problems of employment (unemployment and bad employment), 
but the policies in the countries move from supposed Social Democrats to neoliberal approaches, based on criteria of global competitiveness (also intra-EU). The instruments are labor market reforms. But the latest 
crisis puts austerity (fighting deficit and inflation) above any policy. This leads to even more profound reforms in the labor market that add to the contractual flexibility the precariousness of wages, even so, there are 
still differences between countries.

respuestas nacionales y europea a la crisis", Anuario IET.

Thematic area II. Youth employment policies
										
											
										
											 Session 3. Policies and youth employment (October 15). 
This session will discuss the particular relationship of the young population with employment. The socio-demographic characteristics that influence the different employment situations of the young population will be studied, 
as well as the great differences that exist between the different countries of the European Union.
										
											The relationship of the young population with employment is marked by the process of labor insertion, which in turn depends largely on the training path developed. Thus, it is impossible to talk about the relationship between 
young people and employment without addressing the training-employment transition processes. In the current context, these transitions of young people to employment are not only marked by their educational level and 
their social origin, but also by the impact of the economic crisis. Although the economic recession has had diverse impacts on the labor insertion of young people throughout Europe, it is beyond doubt that the young population 
of working age has been the most affected by the current employment crisis.
										
											Faced with the employment crisis among the young population, the European Commission has designed different policies. The most emblematic of all of them is the Youth Guarantee Program, which aims to break with the logic 
of the policies developed throughout the 20th century, once its low positive effect has been confirmed in a good number of countries. However it is not clear that these objectivesare being achieved, the reasons for this failure 
will also be addressed in the session.

Session 7. Local employment policies, local development and influence of the European Employment Strategy (November 12). 
The theoretical premises that emphasize the importance of the territory for economic development and social cohesion are discussed. The influence of the criteria derived from the European Strategy on employment and 
economic promotion policies carried out at the local level is underlined. Description of the European initiatives that give rise to the development of territorial pacts for employment, taking shape in local (or supra-local) pacts, 
aswell astheir objectives, measures and _ actors involved. Also, its limitations are underlined

											 Session 8. Active employment and social cohesion policies at the local level (November 19).
We analyze, with specific examples from different countries, the ways in which the application of active employment policies at the local level is specified. The link between local employment policies and social cohesion policies 
is deepened, taking as an example the actions developed in Catalan municipalities based on the application of the Neighborhood Law in them

											 SOME OF THE READINGS FOR THE DEBATE (PROVIDED THROUGH THE VIRTUAL CAMPUS) MAY BE SUBJECT TO MODIFICATION

-In class, the teacher's explanations are combined with debates based on previously indicated and facilitated readings. The readings to debate in each subject area are provided through the virtual campus. 
Those indicated in this Teaching Guide may undergo changes until the start of the Master's sessions.
										
											
										
											-Individual work involves a relevant training activity on the subject analyzed
										
											
										
											-COVID-19. The UAB plans to restrict class capacity to 50%. As it is an optional module, with fewer people enrolled than the compulsory ones, this restriction may not be necessary. In the event that it is, 
before starting the module, the mechanisms that will allow face-to-face assistance and rotating telematics in the different sessions will be indicated.

 -50% of the grade derives from the presence and active participation of the students in the debates that take place in the sessions. The debates are organized around various readings, which will be provided through 
the virtual campus. In addition to participating in the debates (20% of this part of the evaluation), the students will prepare a short work (1 or 2 pages) on each debateed reading (80% of this part of the evaluation). 
This work will be in the form of a response to a series of questions raised about each reading, or in the form of a summary, as indicated for each of the thematic areas.
										
											
										
											 -The other 50% of the grade derives from the preparation of an individual work related to the theme of one of the areas addressed in the module. Each teacher will provide information on the subjects that may constitute 
the course work, corresponding to the choice of the block on which to develop the work for each student. It is recommended that the student choose the topic of their individual work, as well as that they communicate it to 
the teacher who must supervise it, with a maximum date of November 26, one week after the end of the sessions. The work must be submitted in writing to said professor (the person in charge of the field whose subject has 
been chosen) with a maximum date of January 13.
										
											
										
											As an element of RECOVERY, after the evaluation of the individual work, the students will have enough time to improve said work according to the criteria indicated by the teacher.
