This kind of politics puts a strong emphasis on people or societies who are endangered or repressed because of their social or economic status. The European Union was founded on a concept of a social market economy. Some of the main goals of the European Union are full employment, social progress, social inclusion, social protection and solidarity and last but not least, social cohesion. Furthermore another main objective is to minimize imbalances within the European society. This is the reason why the European Union founded the European Social Fund in 1961 with the aim of creating more work opportunities and aiding therefore employees. The European Union has a variety of financial programs like the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF), the Fund for European Aid to the Most Deprived (FEAD), an EU Programme for Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) including PROGRESS and EURES, microfinancing and social entrepreneurship. The European Commission embodies an independent organ of the European Union and encourages the national governments of the EU Member States to create employment, reduce labor market inequalities, promote economic competitiveness and monitor employment policies in the European Union.
