Our country's human resources, workers, are a strong asset for our economy and development but Cyprus today lacks a developmental compass, presidential candidate Achilleas Demetriades said in a written statement on May 1.
He says that opportunistic policies do not constitute a "compass" and that development does not happen with insufficient wages for new entrants to the labour market, with inequalities in pay between men and women, with low pensions.
We need to reduce social inequalities, abolish absurd privileges for the few and reform the welfare state. Set measurable targets to raise the minimum wage to 60% of average income. To emphasize green growth, the circular economy and our digital progress.
