A coherent set of active labour market policies, consisting of temporary and targeted hiring and transition incentives, skills policies, including learning for the green transition and sustainable development, and targeted, effective and adaptable employment services, is needed to support labour market integration and transitions. It is therefore important to make full use of untapped labour market potential, including by retaining older workers and promoting flexible retirement paths, in line with the active inclusion approach, and in light of the green and digital transformations, as highlighted, inter alia, in the 2024 La Hulpe Declaration on the Future of the European Pillar of Social Rights. Adequate working conditions and occupational health and safety, including both the physical and mental health of workers, should be ensured.
