The contribution of the European Regional Programmes to occupation : the case of Central Macedonias' ORP
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: This survey deals with occupation issues via the implementation of Operational Regional Programmes (ORP), which contribute, directly or indirectly, to the improvement of occupation and employment, mainly in the Region of Central Macedonia. That study proved, beyond any doubt, that one of the basic consequences of the co-funded European Union programmes on the economy of the area in question was the creation of labour thus partially contributing to the confrontation of the employment issues and the decrease of unemployment. The results are especially apparent during the construction period and concern the employees of the sectors being activated during that period. We must also point out that through the implemented projects it is impossible to create steady job positions, so as to give a definite solution to the issue of unemployment. The vacancies being created are seasonal, since they are directly connected to the duration of the implemented projects.
