RECEPTION FOR PARTICIPANTS OF INTERNATIONAL FORUM ON THE SUBJECT OFSOCIAL INCLUSION, EMPLOYMENT AND LABOR MARKET

Nis City Council Member for Social Care Issues Tijana Djordjevic Ilic welcomed today at Nis City Hall the participants of the Forum dedicated to the issues of social inclusion, employment and labor market. She said she was very pleased that this forum was being held in Nis. She said that this forum was an opportunity for the exchange of knowledge and experience in programs and activities to reduce unemployment and improve the position of socially sensitive categories of population. “The issues of social inclusion, raising the capacity to increase the employment rate, and the regulation of the labor market – are of key importance for every society and every one of its individuals. The problem of social inclusion and the integration of vulnerable categories of the population is a particularly important segment of the employment policy. There are ethical and economic reasons for the need to insist on the integration of vulnerable categories. On the one hand, the notion of social justice is unachievable without the human and ethical initiatives of each community. Planned and responsible approach to the problem of unemployment of vulnerable social groups certainly contributes to successful integration into the labor market and reducing the risk of poverty, discrimination and dependence on financing from the social care system, “said Tijana Đordjević
