Please read the article TOWARDS A WELFARE STATE IN THE WESTERN BALKANS, published in the latest edition of the Political Trends & Dynamics newsletter (@FESonline). The article is written by @Paulstubbsa, member of our network: bit.ly/3bjswpz (.pdf, pp. 9-13)
Inclusive education should become a top priority in WB countries (including day care services for children with disability in schools, hot meals for poor children, access to all levels of education for Roma children) - FUTURE OF THE WELFARE STATE PLATFORM: bit.ly/2PaW547
Universal health coverage should be ensured in all Western Balkan countries. General government expenditure for health care should be at least 5% GDP (with clear steps outlined for its realization within a reasonable time scale). bit.ly/2PaW547
Increased investing in preventive services (immunization, regular check-ups, screening programs) and public health programs is needed. Monitoring and evaluation of service quality should be improved. bit.ly/2PaW547
Closing of equity gaps in access and health outcomes should be ensured. -- For more information, please see our FUTURE OF THE WELFARE STATE PLATFORM at bit.ly/2PaW547
