The article analyzes how well European countries are doing in meeting the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy, which focuses on smart, inclusive, and sustainable growth. The strategy measures things like employment, innovation, renewable energy, education, and poverty. After almost 10 years, the EU has not reached most of the targets set in 2010, and many countries are falling behind. The researchers used an Alkire-Foster method to group the countries and see how they are progressing. The findings show that there is still a lot of work to be done to achieve the goals of the Europe 2020 strategy.
