Europe\u2019s inclusive growth model and the European Union\u2019s (EU) welfare-based social contract appear to be under threat amid limited growth in median income in recent years, falling trust in institutions (both EU and national), discomfort about mass migration, worries about security as well as the resilience of global agreements, and a rise in populist politics that challenges the status quo.<\/p>\n

Europe now needs to respond to six global\u2014and interacting\u2014megatrends that could push inequality higher within EU member states and among them and increase social and economic divergence, placing the inclusive growth part of the EU social contract in even more peril.<\/p>\n

Given these trends, Europe needs to be proactive about testing new ways in which the social contract might work in the case of the future of work<\/a>, low-carbon lifestyles, and technology ethics, for instance. Overall, however, we find that Europe may be able to preserve the essence of its welfare-style social contract, if it delivers superbly on all its current initiatives that are linked to, and aim to respond to, the megatrends.<\/p>\n

Among initiatives with the best outcomes for inclusive growth, the EU and European countries might have to scale up green and technological innovation and develop new skills. While inequality will likely grow as new social policies unfold, these new approaches might be financed by the returns on those policies, and, in the process, mitigate rising inequality, and helping to head off anti-EU sentiment. Social divergence within member countries is likely to persist and must be tackled with the EU complementing the actions of member states.<\/p>\n

It simulates the challenges and opportunities ahead in several scenarios and focuses on the impact of the six megatrends.<\/p>\n

-Much of Europe has returned to growth, but its inclusiveness remains under pressure
<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
-Six megatrends could test the resilience of Europe\u2019s inclusive growth model<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Ageing demographics<\/li>\n
  2. Digital technology, automation and AI<\/li>\n
  3. Increased global competititon<\/li>\n
  4. Migration<\/li>\n
  5. Climate change and pollution<\/li>\n
  6. Shifting geopolitics<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    <\/a><\/div>\n
    <\/div>\n

    -The megatrends may mean that Europe faces higher inequality and more social divergence

    <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

    -Action in three areas is required to strengthen Europe\u2019s inclusive growth model:<\/div>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. Fully execute a deliver scenario<\/li>\n
    2. Complement growth with improved measures to promote income equality within and across countries<\/li>\n
    3. Amend the parameters of the social contracts<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
