Government of the Republic of Serbia
The Social Inclusion and Poverty Reduction Unit at the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration published a second analysis of impact of public policies in a study entitled “From Inactivity to Employment“, developed in cooperation with the Foundation for Advancement of Economics (FREN).
The study analyses the effect of public policies and the factors affecting inactivity, and offers recommendations for growth of activity and employment in the Republic of Serbia.
Increasing employment represents the key to reduction of poverty and social exclusion. The problems faced by Serbia in this area are: an insufficient creation of new jobs during the previous decade (employment dropped by some 500,000 since the outbreak of the crisis), aging of population that would, in case of failure of the concept of active ageing, increase the demand for pensions and social protection and lastly, unemployed or inactive youth and a chance missed to achieve long-term economic growth.
The study was based in the only adequate source of data – Labour Force Survey (LFS).
The study was presented on 22 March 2013.
