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. This was presented today at the presentation of a new online platform "Monitoring of the Social Situation in Serbia" (MONS).
Social enterprises, in addition to realization of their economic function through the sale of products and services on the market, have an important social role to contribute to solving social issues. This was concluded at a conference organized by the Foundation for the Advancement of Economics FREN.
