The Paris Declaration’s aim is twofold: fight the crisis and push forward a more equitable society. The declaration is built on five key points, namely:
- more and better jobs: invest in an expanded European recovery plan;
- stronger welfare systems to provide more security and equality and avoid social exclusion;
- stronger workers’ rights and an end to the dominance of the short-termist market principles;
- better pay: stronger collective bargaining;
- European solidarity as a protection against the excesses of financial capitalism.
