Social Inclusion, Youth Employment and Povery Reduction

The European Economic Area is not just about economic cooperation, it is also about empowering people to play their role in society. Sustainable inclusive growth and future prosperity rely on finding a balance between economic progress and social advancement. In line with the EU’s cohesion policy, the programme areas in the priority sector Social Inclusion, Youth Employment and Poverty Reduction promote well- functioning societies by supporting social inclusion and empowerment of vulnerable groups, equal access to education, employment and health care, and capable and responsible institutions. The added value of this priority sector is its contribution to breaking the cycle of disadvantage by supporting early interventions, by investing in prevention and boosting systemic change, and by encouraging pilot projects in the area of social innovation.
