What is the European Social Fund Plus?
The European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) is the European Union (EU)’s main instrument for investing in people and supporting the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights.
For the 2021-2027 period, the ESF was merged with the Youth Employment Initiative (YEI), the Fund for European Aid to the most Deprived (FEAD), and the directly managed Employment and Social Innovation (EaSI) Programme, to become the ESF+. The aim of the ESF+ is to achieve high employment levels, fair social protection, and a skilled and resilient workforce for the future world of work, in line with the principles set out in the European Pillar of Social Rights.
