Zusammenfassung: | Following the European Commission's guidelines, WIFO has undertaken a monitoring of the implementation of the Austrian National Reform Programme within the framework of the European 2020 growth strategy. The main components are an analysis of Austria's progress towards reaching its five EU 2020 headline goals in the areas of R&D, education, employment, poverty, and the environment and an analysis of policies put forward by the Austrian government to address the country-specific recommendations (CSR) made by the EU to Austria. Overall, Austria is on track to meet or has already met all targets with the exception of private sector R&D expenditure and greenhouse gases. Austria has put in place policies to partly address all of the 5 CSR analysed in this report.
