The last labor market numbers have not given up cheers, you now want to put an end to Turquoise-Rud-Pink. With a qualification offensive, people without employment are intended to open new perspectives. Companies are said to receive better qualified and trained employees. And: after the educational leave there will also be radical incisions with the margin.
At the end of March 2025, nearly 400,000 people were registered with the unemployed people of the Labor Market Service (AMS) or in training – with 7.4 percent more than in March 2024. Minister of Social Affairs Korinna Schumann (Spö) emphasized in the beginning: “Behind each number there are always human fate, qualification and further education to gain a foothold.” The domestic companies also benefit from this because they can recruit better educated employees.
With a package of measures, increasing unemployment must be prevented. But not only the employees must be supported in training and further education, the companies also want to be mandatory.
Expansion of jobs in the care and environmental sector
Wolfgang Hattmannsdorfer (ÖVP) emphasized the importance of increasing competitiveness: “We must get the Republic back in the medium term.” In addition to the favorite social area and the long -term care, there is also a focus on the environment, the government sees the government particularly potential for new jobs.
“Moreover, we should get better with qualified immigration, the recognition of deals from abroad must be simplified,” Hattmannsdorfer emphasized. Uniform competence points must be set up for this. Performance stimuli must also be offered in the field of social benefits.
No more minority for the unemployed
The insignificance during unemployment must be abolished. “The goal must be to increase work performance and the number of hours in Austria,” said the Minister of Economy. Older employees, long -term unemployed and people who were already employed before their unemployment should not be influenced by the abolition of insignificance.
“Prepare young people optimally”
Minister of Education Christoph Return (Neos) said that the curricula would be revised in a practical -oriented way “to optimally prepare the young people for the world of work”. You must also display incentives to work completely again.
Input you get Petra Draxl and Johannes Kopf from the AMS board members during the work course. The economist Harald Oberhofer had already been consulted on Tuesday.
