Body

An Oireachtas Committee report published February 19, 2013 recommends that Government consider the proposal to create a Part-Time Job Opportunities programme advocated by Social Justice Ireland.

The report, entitled 'Creating Policies that Work -
Actions to Address Youth and Long-Term Unemployment
'
 was produced by the Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation following a wide-ranging engagement with organisations and groups across Irish society. 

The report is most welcome and comes at an opportune time as Ireland faces major challenges if jobs are to be created and long-term unemployment is to be reduced in the short-to-medium term.  Its proposals should be acted on by Government without delay.

The report entitled 'Creating Policies that Work - Actions to Address Youth and Long-Term Unemployment' may be downloaded below.
