Government to employ 1,600 from socially vulnerable families

The Government will employ 1,600 individuals from socially vulnerable families in the public sector, said Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski at Wednesday's press conference.

He said jobs will be given to 400 individuals each from four categories - long-term unemployed, persons from multiple children families, single parents, and individuals from families having no employees.

The principle of equal and just representation will be applied in the employment process.

PM Gruevski also said the Government was working on a new law on administration, focusing on the recruitment process, through the application of strict criteria in line with the expertise and competence of candidates.
