The Employment Aid Programme aimed to increase job opportunities for disadvantaged groups and disabled persons in the labour market; upgrade their skills through work experience and therefore enhance their employment prospects; and enhance the financial independence of disadvantaged persons and prevent social exclusion and marginalisation.
Around 1,350 jobseekers were employed through the assistance of the Aid Scheme. This contributed to economic growth and reduced the number of registered unemployed and leave savings from social assistance benefits paid.
