Enhancing Economic Security in the European Union: Three Strategies to Tackle Emerging Economic and Social Challenges

cover
JRC Working Paper Series For a Fair, Innovative and Sustainable Economy, 10/2025
The European Union faces a range of new challenges driven by socioeconomic, technological, and geopolitical disruptions that have weakened its integration model. The EU must redefine its strategy to adapt to economic decline and geopolitical uncertainty, prioritizing economic security and industrial autonomy. It is necessary to adjust social protection systems to new challenges and align them with evolving needs, in order to enhance economic security within the EU member states. In this report, three pathways are proposed to strengthen economic security: improving coordination of existing safety nets, fostering social innovation through a partial basic income, and increasing strategic investments to improve cohesion and growth.
