The European Union should boost decent universal social support schemes, unemployment and other social benefits to all people, including lowest-paid workers, freelancers, self-employed   and   young   workers.   Job   creation   must   be   at   the   core   of   recovery   and   to prevent the arising of more precarious jobs in the future. Legislative action should be presented   to   ban   zero-hour   contracts,   end   the   practice   of   unpaid   post-graduate internships   or   ensure   worker   status   for   non-standard   workers,   such   as   platform workers. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size greens-content\">We need to ensure that everyone in the EU receives a poverty-proof minimum income(taking into account the gender dimension) and we need a concrete action plan to end in-work poverty, including EU-wide living wages as still too many workers work hard and don\u2019t earn enough income for them and their families to live a decent and healthy life. The European Union should create quality jobs with the ability to acquire the skills we   all   need   to   ensure   a   social,   gender-equal   and   inclusive   just   transition.

As   shown   by   the   crisis,   most   of   the   essential   jobs   and   informal   care   work keeping our economy afloat during the lockdown were performed by women but they are still paid less than men for the same jobs and their contribution remains largely undervalued.

Asylum seekers will be among   the   most   negatively   impacted   persons   by   this   unprecedented   crisis.   The European Union should provide a new solidarity mechanism so that all Member States equally   share   the   dignified  reception   of   these   people,  already   living  in   a   vulnerable situation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size greens-content\">We need a new \u201cCare Deal for Europe\u201d, in order to put the notion of care back at the centre of our social response to the crisis.

For this, the massive public investment plan must improve formal care work and recognise informal care (e.g. via care credits), a European framework on housing as there is a tremendous under-investment in housing (which would also help tackle homelessness and create jobs), a revision of our work-life balance  rules, substantial investments in promoting mental health in health and social services and measures to ensure  gender equality, a child-friendly society and protect   persons   in   a   vulnerable   situation,   such   as   people   with   disabilities,   asylum seekers, undocumented migrants, refugees, prisoners and minorities.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size greens-content\">The European Union should invest in its future and our youth: the COVID-19 crisis will make it even harder for young professionals to enter the job-market because of reduced employment. That is why the EU needs to boost funding and deliver on a binding Youth Guarantee across the EU to prevent long-term youth unemployment. European education systems need to be improved and the EU should present a European Child Guarantee so that by 2030 no child or youngster in the EU is at risk of poverty or social exclusion. Climate change education should be the centre of a paradigm shift in which the whole of society takes part, with a special focus on children and youth, who will lead the change in future generations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_heading\">\n<h3 class=\"greens-content\">COMBAT GENDER BASED VIOLENCE<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px; background:transparent; display:block;\" class=\"spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gouter \" style=\"\"><div class=\"greens-content blk_core_paragraph\">\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size greens-content\">One of the dramatic consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak is the increased reported number   of   gender-based   and   intra-family   violence   across   Europe.
