This UE first covers teaching social security and social law. At the end of this course, students will be able to begin their professional life with the means to understand the main questions of social law that are posed in and by the life of a company.    This UE also covers teaching employment policy. At the end of this course, students will be able :
- to get a global insight on how to understand European employment;
- to classify and deal with different active labour market policies that can be performed in order to improve employment;
- to analyse how these policies can have an impact by either favouring firms wishes to hire workers, job search incentives from labour suppliers and the matching process between both sides of the labour market;
- to tackle the evaluation of these policies, which can further serve for policy makers;
- to deal with a special labour market policy issue (case study)

Content of UE

This UE first covers teaching social security and social law, whose contents are the following ones :
- collective labour law;
