All our members are necessarily paritarian organizations and the governance of AEIP fully respects the principle of paritarism upon which the association is based as well as the inherent values linked to it.

Paritarian governance

“Paritarian” (from the French “paritaire”; ”paritair” in Dutch, “paritätische“ in German, “Paritetico” in Italian) means jointly managed on equal or parity basis. In the field of social protection, paritarian institutions are non-for-profit institutions, jointly managed by the social partners – the governance of these institutions is based on the equal representation of employers and employees in their governing bodies.
All our members are necessarily paritarian organizations and the governance of AEIP fully respects the principle of paritarism. Our main objective since the beginning can be defined as the promotion of paritarism in Europe in the area of social protection and the representation of our members at the European level through the establishment of strategic partnerships.
