HomeThe impact of reforms supported by the Recovery and Resilience Facility in the area of the labour market
Publication metadata
The Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF) is the EU’s flagship instrument to support post-pandemic recovery by enhancing resilience, preparedness, adjustment capacity, and growth potential across Member States. Labour market reforms and investments are central to this agenda, reflecting the European Commission’s emphasis on employment, skills, and the creation of high-quality jobs as drivers of cohesion and upward convergence. This study examines how selected Member States have designed and implemented key labour market reforms under their National Recovery and Resilience Plans (NRRPs) and assesses their effects on labour market outcomes –particularly employment– and, where possible, on GDP and potential growth. The latter analysis focuses on impacts transmitted through labour market channels; macro effects related to higher public spending or total factor productivity are not modelled. The study covers eight reforms across four Member States that were selected due to their advanced state of implementation at the start of the project: i. France: (i) reform of public unemployment services and (ii) of the unemployment insurance system; ii. Greece: (i) the modernisation and simplification of labour law and (ii) the modernisation of the public employment services (PES); iii. Portugal: (i) reform to promote decent work, targeted at platform workers in particular; and iv. Spain: (i) the simplification of employment contracts, (ii) the modernisation of active labour market policies (ALMPs), and (iii) the digitalisation of PES.
