This book analyses the developments of European social rights and European social citizenship since the proclamation of the European Pillar of Social Rights (EPSR). Leading experts examine the role of the EPSR and its impact on the wellbeing of EU citizens. Contributors present a power resource-based, multi-level concept of social rights, assessing their current state in the EU, their relationship to social outcomes and gaps in their functioning. The book diagnoses the shortcomings of the existing social rights and institutional structure that generates undesirable social outcomes and explores topics such as social protection, housing rights or work-life balance. It also studies the social and political demand for change among citizens, including their attitudes and preferences related to the EU social agenda. The Future of European Social Rights and European Social Citizenship is a crucial resource for scholars and students of European studies, political science and economy, politics and public policy and European social and labour law. It will also benefit practitioners in social rights seeking a deeper understanding of the impact of the EPSR.
