Summary (English)

The Welfare Development Plan focuses on the strategic objectives of labour market, social protection, gender equality, and equal treatment policies for 2016–2023. The Development Plan provides a thorough overview of the main objectives, courses of action, and problems regarding those policies. The Development Plan was compiled due to the need to establish a unitary strategic basis for the policy-making of the aforementioned spheres, which would, at the same time, take into account the needs of people, society, and economy, the challenges arising from demographic and socio-economic trends, international commitments, and the capability of the state.
