Economic Inactivity Strategy
Enabling Success: Supporting the transition from economic inactivity to employment is the Northern Ireland Executive’s new strategy for reducing economic inactivity in Northern Ireland.
Enabling Success - a strategy to tackle economic inactivity
It sets out the long-term approach to tackling economic inactivity in a progressive and sustainable way through targeted incentives, skills and training programmes and job creation.
In recognition of the magnitude and scope of the issues associated with economic inactivity in Northern Ireland, and the cross-government approach required to successfully address these issues, this strategy has been developed in partnership with the Department of Enterprise, Trade and investment, Department for Social Development, Invest NI and the Department of Health, Social Services and Public Safety.
The strategy outlines a range of measures, based on voluntary participation, which are designed to help individuals in three key economically inactive groups make the transition towards, and into, work.
