Summary: This study focuses on the European Pillar of Social Rights which was recently approved by the European Union. The study begins with a brief introduction describing the study’s aim and context, before proceeding to analyse, first of all, the process that brought the Pillar into being, from the initial steps taken in September 2015 to its approval by means of a Commission Recommendation in April 2017 and the joint proclamation by the European Parliament, Council and Commission in November 2017. Secondly, the study will then examine in depth the reasons underlying the approval of the European Pillar of Social Rights, its objectives and content, paying particular attention to its principal contributions, novelties and limitations. Thirdly, the study will review the principal actions taken at European level to put into effect the Pillar’s provisions since it was approved. Finally, in the light of the data provided, the study will conclude with some final considerations regarding the potential effectiveness and limitations of this instrument as a means of strengthening the social dimension of the European Union.
