Highlights
Eurofound has contracted FREN and the European Centre to conduct a comparative analysis on job quality and working conditions in the Western Balkan region.
The analytical paper, written by Anette Scoppetta and Eszter Zólyomi as part of the project Integrated approach in employment and welfare services delivery towards inclusive growth and poverty reduction in Uzbekistan suggests the establishment of an Integrated Case Management model in Uzbekistan, initially focusing on persons with disability, including a pilot implementation in Tashkent.
The Ministry of Finance, Labour, and Transfers of the Republic of Kosovo, in collaboration with the European Centre for Social Welfare Policy and Research, is hosting a virtual peer review titled “Fighting Undeclared Work in the BB Countries”. While this meeting is closed to the public, we look forward to sharing key insights and outcomes after the event.
