Issue number six published: Social Supervisor – Institutional Engagement in Social Policies

The Musine Kokalari Institute for Social Policies has published the new report for the second quarter of 2022 titled “Social Supervisor – Institutional Engagement in Social Policies”.

Our researchers have monitored nine (9) parliamentary sessions and thirty (30) parliamentary committee meetings based on these principles: Education and training for the labor market; Equal opportunities; Social dialogue and inclusion of workers; Support for the unemployed; Inclusion of persons with disabilities; Gender equality; Workplace safety; Care and support for children; Income and old-age pensions; Access to essential services.

During this quarter, in parliamentary sessions, deputies raised social issues 47 times, including statements out of the agenda, parliamentary questions, and issues related to specific draft laws. “Access to essential services” and “Social dialogue and inclusion of workers” were the principles discussed the most, while issues related to the principles of “Gender equality” and “Support for the unemployed” were raised only once (1).

The ten principles from ShEDS were discussed 35 times in a total of 30 meetings of the five monitored parliamentary committees. The most frequently raised issues were related to the principles of “Social dialogue and inclusion of workers” as well as “Income and old-age pensions”.
