Recital 7
Recital 7
(7) Undeclared work has serious budgetary implications through decreased tax and social security revenues. It has negative impacts on employment, productivity, compliance with working conditions’ standards, skills development and life-long learning. It undermines the financial sustainability of social protection systems, deprives workers of adequate social benefits and results in lower pension rights and less access to healthcare. Undeclared work leads to unfair competition and thus has a negative impact on competition in the single market and on the economy in general. In addition, social dumping may be a direct consequence of undeclared work and of its cross-border dimension.
