During the November 2009 ANED Annual Meeting, Professor Mark Priestley (University of Leeds) gave an update on Growth and Jobs based on ANED country reports on employment,  National Reform Programmes and 2009 Implementation Plans submitted by Member States.

Research Leader: Prof Anne Waldschmidt (University of Cologne)
Rapporteur: Prof Bent Greve (Roskilde University)

Employment was one of ANED's priority themes for review in 2008, reflecting the importance attached to this area by policy makers within the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs. This task involved a review of current policy developments at both European and national level, and the collection of research evidence and policy examples from Network members and key stakeholders.

National evidence reports were prepared by ANED country teams (updated in subsequent years) and a summary overview was produced by the rapporteur.
