Undeclared work policies in Europe (ENG)

The main objective of this project was to conduct a systematic overview of policies, instruments and measures in the field of legitimating Undeclared Work (UDW) (e.g. simplified declarations), commitment (e.g. service vouchers), and prevention-regularisation (e.g. mass regularisations) of undeclared work in EU countries. The study delivers:
1. a structured overview of recent policies;
2. an in-depth description of all documented measures in the field of legitimating UDW, commitment and prevention-regularisation;
3. an assessment of the measures mentioned under 2. above, including one or more summary tables indicating the order of magnitude of official jobs achieved through the measures.
The study commissioned by the European Commission (DG Employment Directorate) is not public and will be part of the report ‘Employment and Social Developments in Europe, 2013’.
