(8) On 8 May 2021, EU Leaders at the Porto Social Summit (20) recognised the European Pillar of Social Rights as a fundamental element of the recovery noting that its implementation will strengthen the Union's drive towards a digital, green and fair transition and contribute to achieving upward social and economic convergence and addressing the demographic challenges. They stressed that the social dimension, social dialogue and the active involvement of social partners are at the core of a highly competitive social market economy. Member States found that the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan presented by the Commission provided useful guidance for the implementation of the Pillar, including in the areas of employment, skills, health and social protection. They welcomed the new EU headline targets for 2030 on employment (78 % of the population aged 20-64 should be in employment), skills (60 % of all adults should participate in training every year) and poverty reduction (of at least 15 million, including five million children) and the revised Social Scoreboard with a view to monitoring progress towards the implementation of the Social Pillar principles as part of the policy coordination framework in the context of the European Semester. Moreover, they noted that, as Europe gradually recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic, the priority will be to move from protecting to creating jobs and to improve job quality, and stressed that implementation of the principles in the European Pillar of Social Rights will be essential to ensure the creation of more and better jobs for all within the framework of an inclusive recovery. Finally, Member States stressed the importance of closely following, including at the highest level, the progress achieved towards the implementation of the European Pillar of Social Rights and the EU headline targets for 2030.
