Abstract

The global ideas of social democracy in the economic, political, and social fields were also taken up and developed by the Kreisky Commission for Full Employment in Europe, financed by the Norwegian, Finnish, Swedish, Luxembourgish, and Austrian Governments. Renowned personalities such as Galbraith, Michel Rocard, Raymond Barre, Paavo Lipponen, and representatives of OECD, ILO, UNICEF, and the European Commission participated in the Kreisky Commission. The final project drawn up by the Kreisky Commission focused on the need for future investments in education, technology, and infrastructure, as indispensable preconditions for the creation of new jobs.
