[01] Gov't sees unemployment at 8.0% in 2008
Employment and Social Protection Minister Savvas Tsitouridis said on
Tuesday that jobs would rise by 1.6% in coming years, lowering
unemployment to 8.0% in 2008.
Addressing the National Employment Commission, the minister said the
decisive part played by social partners was at the centre of government
policy, along with better use of European Union funds in employment
policy.
He also suggested creation of a social solidarity fund for business
sectors or areas with high joblessness that would support the
unemployed over 50 years old.
