Abstract
The Netherlands, Finland and Germany made significant progress with regard to the Stockholm target. In 2001, all were below the 50% employment rate goal but within nine years exceeded it at a rate that was above the average for all EU15 nations (9.6%) (Eurostat, 2011). Again, as with the preceding chapter, the policy context prior to 2001 will be addressed, as well as the reforms undertaken until 2010. The impact of these changes at the micro-level will then be explored and compared.
