The EU plays an important role in the labour market reforms in its member states，including proposing ideas，coordinating actions and supervising operation. The Europe 2020 Strategy set an employment target to have 75% of the working age population in work by 2020. To achieve this goal，the EU focused on creating more jobs，restoring vitality of the labour market and improving governance in this field. In the context of the European debt crisis，the EU economy still keeps a slow growth. However，in terms of the EU labour market reforms，in particular youth employment，significant progresses have been made. <<
