The ESF is Europe’s main instrument for supporting jobs, helping people get better jobs and ensuring fairer job opportunities for all EU citizens.
The ESF will focus on a limited number of priorities in order to make a real impact in addressing Member States’ key challenges, which are:
- Employment ‒ €30 billion
- Education ‒ €26 billion
- Social inclusion ‒ €21.3 billion
- Institutional capacity ‒ €3.6 billion
Together with the €3.2 billion special allocation for the Youth Employment Initiative, this means that more than €86 billion will be invested in Europe’s people over the next seven years.
