Africa-Press – Cape verde. <\/strong><\/span>The Minister of Family, Inclusion and Social Development, Fernando Eli\u0301sio Freire, promised today, in parliament, the expansion of social protection and the creation of more day centers, aiming to eradicate extreme poverty in the country.<\/p>\n

Fernando Eli\u0301sio Freire, who spoke in the monthly debate of the first ordinary session in April, regarding the portfolio he oversees \u2013 Family, Inclusion and Social Development, considered that the Government’s social policy is oriented and focused on the autonomy and self-sufficiency of families and social inclusion.<\/p>\n

Therefore, according to the government official, it is an ethical and moral obligation to combat poverty and encourage \u201ceveryone\u201d to contribute and enjoy the national wealth.<\/p>\n

For the minister, inclusive development presupposes, in addition to active policies to minimize social inequalities and gender equality, decent employment in order to \u201cboost\u201d the social ascension of the most disadvantaged based on access to work and constant improvement their income conditions and quality of life.<\/p>\n

He mentioned that several measures were taken, namely, the consolidation of the Single Social Registry, the Social Inclusion Income and the Social Water Tariff to address poverty.<\/p>\n

\u201cExtreme poverty decreased to 6.8 percent (%) in the third quarter of 2023 and the mandatory social protection coverage rate increased from 51%, in 2020, to 57%, in 2023\u201d, he listed.<\/p>\n

The government official stated that there is more social protection and less poverty and assured that increasing mandatory social protection coverage for at least 66% of workers in all municipalities is \u201cpossible and feasible\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why we are accelerating the transition from the informal to the formal economy and expanding social security coverage and we are adapting the legal framework to integrate protective measures for the different categories of workers in the informal economy, making the requirements for access to benefits more flexible to the specific reality of the work as precarious work\u201d.<\/p>\n

Eli\u0301sio Freire announced, in parliament, that \u201ca major reform\u201d is being undertaken in social security, the labor code and labor administration, with the aim of facilitating the production of wealth, protecting the most vulnerable and promoting competitiveness and productivity, declared the governor.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already started the social security reform process, which will cover old-age pensions, disability and survivor pensions, illness and maternity, family benefits and supplementary benefits,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The minister reinforced that, for this year 2024, they will continue the \u201cwalk\u201d of leaving no one behind, aiming to eliminate extreme poverty and reduce absolute poverty, which is why he intends, this year, to increase the social income of inclusion for 9,220 families in extreme poverty.<\/p>\n

Likewise, it announced the extension of social pension coverage to an additional 552 people and people with disabilities from poor families not covered by the contributory regime, totaling 26,442 beneficiaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will expand productive inclusion to the 22 municipalities, covering 5,050 families, we will have daycare and family support for two thousand families and the opening of 11 day centers on the islands of Santiago, Sa\u0303o Vicente, Sal, Boavista and Sa\u0303o Nicolau\u201d, he assured the Minister of Family, Inclusion and Social Development.<\/p>\n

He also announced the introduction of early retirement for all professional categories and, in the private sector, the hiring of 60 caregivers to expand access to healthcare for children and people with disabilities.<\/p>\n
