Políticas públicas (políticas sociales) y medioambiente en la U.E.

Abstract

Countries in the European context measure their development and general welfare with indicators that are complementary to economic growth. As a whole, these «social» indicators have traditionally found expression in public policy, especially in health care, education, and environmental protection. The present article analyses the policies on youth, the elderly, families, and gender, and the policies on the environment, including the VI Action Programme, in force until 2010.
