For a Social Europe, with Equity and Solidarity

The European Movements (ECWM) of the World Movement of Christian Workers has issued a white paper on social security, it argues that: “Social Security can be financed when there is a Respect for Solidarity”. The ECWM was invited to present the white paper to the Social Committee of the European Parliament, resulting in a dialogue between politicians and the movement. The ECWM also presented the white paper to COMECE, The Commission of European Bishops’ Conferences. The movement advocates dialogue between the official church and workers to achieve social justice as laid out in Church Social teachings.

“Social security in Europe is a right for everyone and can be financed as long as: - The pillars of solidarity within the social security systems are consolidated - Expenses are controlled in a fair manner - The expenses are distributed and borne in solidarity and with fairness. - We advocate quality social security through increased solidarity”.  You can download it here.
