Europe besides ESN

Inclusive labour markets: Helping people to take up and stay in work
Employment offers the best way out of poverty and social exclusion. Sadly some of the most vulnerable groups in society – for example people with disabilities and certain ethnic minorities – are among those most likely to find themselves excluded from the labour market.
To help break down barriers, the European Commission has asked EU Member States to deliver active inclusion policies, which, in part, call for the development of inclusive labour markets. The goal is to help people who can work get jobs and stay in employment.
