"The Commission has proposed the creation of a new European microfinance instrument to promote jobs. The instrument is designed to help unemployed people get back on their feet and to make entrepreneurship accessible to some of the most disadvantaged groups in Europe, including young people, within the broader context of the economic recovery plan. All the institutions should pay greater attention to the poorest workers. Does being in work necessarily mean that one is not poor? Do jobs or social benefits provide sufficient protection against the solitude or frailty that lead to indifference? Work does indeed integrate the individual into a community. But that does not suffice in order to become a citizen, as experience has demonstrated. Families living in poverty tell us that work means much more than a source of income. It is easy to put programmes in place for the unemployed, but it is more important to help the poorest people and those who are furthest removed from the labour market. That is why I welcome the important role that the Fourth World European Committee played in facilitating exchanges of views between colleagues and with representatives of organised civil society."@en1
