The Directorate-General for Employment, Social Affairs and Inclusion (DG EMPL) of the European Commission is responsible for EU policies aimed at promoting employment, improving social inclusion, and ensuring fair working conditions across member states.

It develops strategies to enhance job creation, reduce social inequalities, and protect workers' rights while fostering social dialogue and integration.

DG EMPL also oversees funding initiatives like the European Social Fund to support employment, skills development, and equal opportunities throughout Europe.
