How the unemployed are encouraged to become active in the labour market
Around 6,200 unemployed people received social aid last year out of a total of around 36,000 beneficiaries of this type of social protection, Felicia Bechtoldt, state secretary at the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection, told Radio Moldova. According to her, the amount of this aid will be reduced, as there are many people who receive both unemployment benefit and social aid, which creates an inequality in the system. According to the experts, such a measure would encourage the employable unemployed to become active on the labour market.
