The European social partners - including the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), BUSINESSEUROPE, the European Association of Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (UEAPME), and the European Centre of Employers and Enterprises Providing Public Services (CEEP) – reject the inevitability of a lost generation.
