Indicator history

In 2000 the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs adopted Program boja proti revščini in socialni izključenosti [Program against poverty and social exclusion], deriving from the awareness of the importance of measures for decreasing social exclusion, a complex social phenomenon that can never be completely eliminated, demanding constant activities and measures to decrease both poverty and social exclusion, aimed at long-term social exclusion of individuals and their families. The program envisions a number of strategic, legislative and other measures to effectively combat social exclusion and poverty.
