Today's presentation of the new online platform for Monitoring Social Situation in Serbia MONS (www.mons.rs) highlighted that the great increase in inequality has negative consequences on economic growth and stability of the society.
To reduce the gap between the rich and the poor in Serbia, it is necessary to improve the policies that contribute to higher employability, such as education policy, lifelong learning and active employment policies.
