Proposal for the Joint Report on Social Protection and Social Inclusion 2009

Key Messages from Member States' new National Strategic Reports (NSR) outlining strategies to promote the EU's common social objectives:

• Fighting poverty and social exclusion;
• Adequate and sustainable pensions;
• Health care and long-term care: Adequately recruiting, (re)training, and retaining long-term care workers remains a challenge.
