"I welcomed the document because the social consequences of the crisis are far-reaching and now exacerbated by the impact of austerity measures taken in certain countries in response to the sovereign debt crisis, cutting jobs, both in private and public sectors, social benefits and public services, and thus increasing poverty and unemployment across the EU. The labour market situation at present is particularly critical for young people, regardless of their level of education, who often end up with precarious employment contracts and in unpaid traineeships. The difficult situation faced by young people is also partly down to mismatches between acquired skills and labour market demands. People approaching pension age, the long-term unemployed and low-skilled workers are also among those worst hit by the crisis. An increasing number of people are at risk of income poverty, child poverty, severe material deprivation and social exclusion. Therefore, measures need to be taken to ensure coherent, smart, sustainable and inclusive growth and sustainable job creation through investment and tax reform, to improve the quality of employment and conditions for increased labour participation, tackle youth unemployment, poverty and social exclusion, and enhance democratic legitimacy, accountability and ownership."@en1
