Position paper on positive activation
The Position Paper contains a range of proposals for improving the Government’s supports for those who are distant from the labour market to access employment. It stresses the need for supports to be done within an approach that ensures that people have access to a decent income and quality services and that quality employment must be accessible for everyone who wants it. The Position Paper has been developed by the EAPN Ireland Europe 2020 Working Group with the aim of informing the Governments current review of the Pathways to Work Strategy. It outlines general issues and proposals for addressing them while also focusing on specific needs of people with disabilities, one-parent families, older and younger people and migrants.
