Upcoming Events
Mental health is recognised both as an intrinsic human right and as an invaluable resource by the EU. In our recently published research, you can find out why we now call for an EU Mental Health Strategy. This week we also published the new dossier of the Progressive Post, which is keeping an eye on our historical main rival: the centre-right. Can it still be taken intellectually seriously? Finally, if you enjoy the comfort of super-fast delivery services to your doorstep, join our event next Tuesday; we will discuss ways to make it sustainable for the q-commerce’s workers.
POLICY STUDY & POLICY BRIEF
by Gerry Mitchell, Shana Cohen, Sara Bojarczuk and Emily Murphy

Mental health is recognised both as an intrinsic human right and as an invaluable resource by the EU. Together with the Think tank for Action on Social Change (TASC), we examine the mental health systems of France, Ireland and Poland, the scale of mental health issues that have arisen during the pandemic, and the extent to which marginalised and at-risk groups receive targeted support. We call for an EU Mental Health Strategy. Read more.
UPCOMING EVENT
Dark stores: Back to the Dark Ages?
28 March – FEPS HQ – Hybrid

Quick-commerce is a service aimed at achieving superfast delivery from ‘dark stores’ to consumers. They use worker-intensive methods to deliver impressive convenience to your door. But who pays the price?
We discovered that since this business is hard to make financially sustainable, the workers and riders are the ones who bear the actual costs.

Join us on 28 March, at FEPS HQ, at the launch event of the two studies commissioned by FEPS and UNI Europa into the q-commerce sector. We investigated Germany, Spain and the UK, and unveiled the health conditions of the employees in the sector, their job security and social rights.

DOSSIER

The Progressive Post focuses this dossier on the centre-right, which has, for decades, been Progressives’ main rival, but one that could be respected and taken seriously not only because of its electoral relevance but also because of the consistency of its political views. The question is, can it still be taken intellectually seriously, beyond its electoral relevance?

– Christian Democracy’s crisis is bad for everyone – including the left by Fabio Wolkenstein
