There is an urgent need for the Government to identify and support sectors that have the potential for job creation and growth, according to a specialist Employment Working Group, coordinated by the European Anti-Poverty Network Ireland (EAPN).
A position paper from the Working Group, entitled ‘Tackling the Economic and Social Crisis’ makes a series of recommendations that will stimulate employment and stem the flow of job losses across the country. The position paper recommends an aggressive, integrated approach that focuses on five areas; creating jobs, sustaining jobs, providing training and education programmes, reforming the tax system and protecting social welfare, and ensuring employment rights and equality.
