Important foundation for the labor market
The Bavarian Ministry of Labor is doing everything it can to keep the unemployment rate in Bavaria low and to actively counter the impending shortage of skilled workers. This is where the ESF comes into play. For over 50 years, as a so-called structural fund, it has ensured that the employment and work opportunities of people in Europe are improved. This makes the ESF the most important funding instrument of the European Union (EU) in the area of labor market policy. Initiatives and projects are supported that improve the qualifications of long-term unemployed people and employees and create additional training positions. The ESF also supports projects that increase equal opportunities, strengthen social inclusion and promote entrepreneurship while expanding cross-border employment. From 2007 to 2013, Bavaria invested around 630 million euros in sustainable qualification and labor market projects. Half of this, around 310 million euros, is co-financed by the ESF.
