Wirtschaftliche Spaltungen und soziale Ungleichheiten in Europa

Abstract

A central basis for the EU’s social cohesion was the economic convergence of its member states. However, the concentration of scientific, technological and entrepreneurial competences in recent years has stopped this convergence of economic and income differences, at least between the old EU member states. The Central and Eastern European countries, on the other hand, have still been benefiting from the economic integration processes in Europe over the past two decades. As a result, the EU is characterised by considerable inequalities between Northern and Southern, Eastern and Western European countries, but also between different social groups. These inequalities can be analysed on the basis of a multidimensional index. Both the limits of Europe-wide convergence processes and the territorial and social inequalities in Europe confront the EU with the challenge of ensuring social cohesion through independent transnational policies. So far, there exists no blueprint for this.
