Poland - Meeting 2020 Social Inclusion Targets
Description
The project is a study of the costs and benefits of meeting 2020 objectives for social inclusion for Poland. It is conducted within a framework of a larger EU initiative 'Europe 2020 Strategy for Smart, Sustainable, and Inclusive Growth' that aims at meeting five ambitious objectives - on employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate/energy - by 2020. In the framework of the study CASE experts run series of simulations related to labour market, vulnerability of polish families and minimum wages.
General Objectives
The study examines the following issues:
- Impact of labour market activation on young, disabled and elderly workers;

- Impact of minimum wages and retirement age on poverty and social exclusion.
Based on the outcome of the project the World Bank (the contracting party) will draft possible recommendations for policy changes.
