(1975 - 1990) Maastric:ht, 23 and 24 March 1981 Session of the European Council Maastricht, 23 and 24 March 1981 Conclusions Economic and social situation The European Council devoted a considerable part of its meeting to a detailed and searching review of the present state of the European Community. There was Ui1animous agreement that in the present difficult economic conditions the Community remains an essential achievement and an indispensable instrument for limiting the ef- fects of the recession and bringing about the return, on a sound and stable .......;;S, of sustained eco- nomic growth and satisfactory levels of employment. To achieve this puIpose and reduce the level of inflation the European Council concluded that the continuation of prudent monetary policies, a healthy budgetary management, and the reorientation of public and private expenditure in the di- rection of productive investment are major elements. The European Council expressed the view that the reinforcement of the economic structure of the Member States requires an effort that must be maintained over a number of years and that short-term demand stimuli will turn out to be ineffective. The European Council welcomed the recent economic measures taken by the Governments of some member countries. -

Mention of such a symbol indicates a reference to a United Nations document. l ST/ESA/188 UNITED NATIONS PUBLICATION Sales No. E.86.II.C.2 01700 ISBN 92-1-109112-3 PREFACE The 1985-1986 Supplement to the World Economic Survey comprises four studies. The first, "International monetary reform and the socialist countries", consists of a systematic review of official and indirect sources of information concerning the views of the socialist countries on some key issues of monetary reform, based on material available up to 1985. "The changing institutional character of international financial markets in the 1980s" explores changes in financial markets and their implications for credit access, stability of capital flows, and the functioning of domestic macro-economic policies. The rise in the "securitization" of financial markets, together with the increasing recourse to low-risk borrowers, is an important trend which might lead to the exclusion from the market of those developing countries that have difficulties in debt payments even after current debt problems are resolved. -
UNEMPLOYMENT Eurostati3?ZI Statistical Telegram
.------------5m-1ll(#-7-. ·{_ UNEMPLOYMENT eurostatI3?ZI Statistical Telegram I I I 14 novembre 1980 MONTHLY STATISTICS OF REGISTERED UNEMPLOYED IN THE COMMUNITY - October 1980 - Unemployment in the Community continues to increase steadily. At the end of October 1980 it amounted to 7.4 million persons, or 6.7% of the civilian working population, compared with 7.1 million or 6.5% at the end of Septem ber. For the Community as a whole unemployment has thus risen by 3 percent in the course of the month. Particularly marked increases were recorded in Denmark and Luxembourg (10% or more) as well as in the F.R. of Germany (8%). Between October 1979 and October 1980 the total number of registered unemployed has risen by 1,281,000 persons or by more than 20% in one year. This increase even exceeded 50% in the United Kingdom and in Denmark and was of the order of 34% in the Netherlands and in Ireland. The smallest increases were noted in Luxem bourg (5.7%), in France (7.1%) and in Italy (8.4%). In those countries having the greatest increase in unemployment during the past year, the proportion of unemployed persons aged under 25 years has tended to increase. This proportion has been estimated at 41.4% at the end of October 1980 for the Community as a whole. The percentage of women in the total of unemployed has declined compared with October of last year in all Community countries with the exception of France where it has remained practically unchanged and of Italy and Luxembourg where it has increased. -

SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974–80
SSI: Trends and Changes, 1974-80 byLennaKennedy* By the end of 1980, the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program was making monthly cash assistance payments, aver- aging $170, to almost 4.2 million aged, blind, and disabled per- sons. When SSI payments began in January 1974, the number of recipients was 3.2 million and the average payment was $117. Since 1975, both SSI payments and Social Security bene- fits have been automatically adjusted each year to correspond with increases in the Consumer Price Index. A number of other trends in addition to growth can be discerned in the size of the population served, as well as in their categorical, geographic, and age distributions. This article discusses some of these trends and changes, using program data for the end of each cal- endar year through 1980. It also presents a brief summary of the program at the end of that period. The Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program differed from State to State. In addition, payments provides cash assistance to residents of the 50 States, the within a State varied depending on criteria such as District of Columbia, and the Northern Mariana Islands special living arrangements-for instance, a recipient who are categorically eligible-aged 65 and older, blind, sharing an apartment or living in a domiciliary care fa- or disabled-and whose income and resources are with- cility.
