With a Master's degree in Social Sciences obtained in 1986 and in-depth expertise in applied socio-economic analysis acquired during his career, Ramón Peña-Casas joined the OSE in 2000. Since then, he has been involved in numerous projects examining the complex interactions between employment, social and social protection in the context of flexible governance methods implemented at European level.
His areas of expertise cover the diagnosis and comparative analysis of the Member States of the European Union on socio-economic issues that cut across the various areas that affect the social dimension of the EU: poverty and social exclusion/social inclusion, social protection, social assistance and minimum income, employment, quality of employment and work, in-work poverty, job insecurity, working conditions, active labour market policies and activation, flexicurity, active ageing, industrial relations, restructuring. His expertise covers also the definition, quality and political use of statistical indicators in EU soft governance processes (employment, social inclusion, European Semester, etc.).
