The Programme of Combating Poverty and Exclusion in Croatia
Ministarstvo rada i socijalne skrbi Republike Hrvatske
Abstract
In the first half of the year 2001, a group of experts organised by the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare developed the Programme of Combating Poverty and Exclusion in Croatia. The Programme was drafted by experts from different institutions, including: The Social Work Study Centre of the Faculty of Law, the Croatian Employment Agency, the State Institute for the Protection of the Family, Maternity and Youth, the Ministry of Labour and Social Welfare and other governmental agencies. The editing work was done by Dr Zoran Šućur. The Programme was presented to the public at the conference entitled “Croatia: From the Passive Social Policy to an Active One”, held in Varaždinske Toplice on 7–8 June 2001. Published here is an abridged and adapted version of the Programme. The parts of the Programme defining the basic concepts of poverty and exclusion and analysing the basic poverty indicators in Croatia have been left out. These indicators are thought to be known to the public, since they were published in a World Bank report (The Study of Economic Vulnerability and Social Welfare, 2000) and in the earlier issues of our Review (2/2000).
