Common use of DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE Clause in Contracts

DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE. Inclusive labour markets allow and encourage all people of working age to participate in paid work and provide a framework for their development. This Framework Agreement covers those persons who encounter difficulties in entering, returning to or integrating into the labour market and those who, although in employment, are at risk of losing their job due to the factors referred to below. The social partners recognise that these people face different challenges which require adapted measures. This Framework Agreement does not focus on specific groups. Instead it provides a general framework focusing on what can be done to enhance labour market inclusion. Several factors or their combination may encourage or discourage labour market participation. These factors can be contextual, work-related or individual and they may evolve over time. There is no hierarchy between the different factors.  Contextual factors are linked to the economic and labour market environment. These may be of structural or geographical nature such as employment opportunities, the existence and quality of care facilities and employment services, transport networks or housing, as well as the interplay between fiscal and social policies.  Work-related factors include amongst others work organisation and work environment, recruitment processes, technological evolution and training policies.  Individual factors are linked to aspects such as skills, qualification and education levels, motivation, language knowledge, health status and frequent or long unemployment periods.
