Aspire EU Policy

Lessons from Four Transnational Partnerships

The project aims & objectives were to tackle four of the big issues facing a European Union anxious to extend participation in today’s labour market:

• Improving the balance between work and family life
• Maximising the potential for women’s participation in the workforce
• Integrating legal newcomers and asylum seekers into the labour market
• Improving lifelong learning for all citizens
  

These are vital matters for a Europe wishing to renew the dynamism and capacity of its economy.

Development of Soft Indicators of Performance

This study had the purpose of developing measures of performance which would be capable of providing evidence of the progress made, or ‘the distance travelled’, by asylum seekers and refugees towards their integration through the ASPIRE funded projects.

The aim of this study was to develop Soft Indicators of Performance and test these on ASPIRE funded projects with the objective exploring their utility as performance measures, as a first step towards the establishment of a complementary performance measurement approach for other programmes aimed at supporting asylum seekers and refugees.
