Several Member States have been undergoing and continue to undergo adjustment processes to correct social and macroeconomic imbalances accumulated in the past and many are facing the challenge of low potential growth, high unemployment, increased risk of poverty, shrinking social protection and widening disparities.
V več državah članicah so potekali in še vedno potekajo procesi prilagajanja za odpravo socialnih in makroekonomskih neravnotežij, nakopičenih v preteklosti, številne pa se soočajo z izzivi nizke potencialne rasti, visoke brezposelnosti, večjega tveganja revščine, zmanjševanja socialne zaščite in povečevanjem razlik.
