Key points

The report calls for a significant increase in the ESF+ budget for the 2028-2034 period to meet rising social needs.
A dedicated budget of at least 20 billion euros is requested specifically for the European Child Guarantee.
The fund must prioritize the green and digital transition to ensure workers are reskilled and no one is left behind.
There is a strong demand to keep the ESF+ as a separate, standalone fund rather than merging it with other EU financial instruments.
