Main priorities
EAPN Slovenia wants to highlight the problem of long-term poverty and distress of people with minimum income and their resulting social exclusion; the minimum wage is too low; the problem of violence has increased in families mainly during home schooling and work from home during the corona crisis; the unemployment has increased; and the fact is that children cannot be independent beneficiaries of health insurance.
