International Conference on Employment Policy (RIPE 98)
International Conference on Employment Policy (RIPE 98)
Following the first meeting in 1997, the second International Employment Policy Meeting (RIPE) was held between 29 September and 2 October 1998 in Lisbon within the framework of PALOP, the association of Portuguese-speaking African countries. The topic of this year's meeting was "Job creation in disadvantaged urban and rural areas".
During the course of the conference, labour market dynamics in the socioeconomic context of employment policy were studied, whereby entrepreneurial projects were presented.
The role of training in helping to create jobs in disadvantaged areas was also discussed.
As was the case last year, the conference was organised jointly by the Directorate-General for Employment and Vocational Training (DGEFP) and the Public Employment Service (IEFP).
