Cotman: "The Key is Knowledge, Not Lower Wages"

Ljubljana, 8 February - Minister of Labour the Family and Social Affairs Marjeta Cotman says the priority in labour market reform is to introduce flexicurity. This means retaining welfare benefits, not cuts in the price of labour. "They can be saved by knowledge, not cuts in wages and allowances," Cotman says in an interview with STA.
