Women's power in the job: AMS Lower Austria is fighting long -term unemployment!

With the "Emmy - Empower MySelf" program, the AMS Lower Austria sets a clear sign for young women: over 700,000 euros flow into an initiative that specifically supports girls and women under the age of 25 and opens up professional perspectives in aspiring industries. AMS Landes Managing Director Sandra Kern emphasizes how important it is to create role models that show what is possible. At a time when role clichés have to be broken up, this support is more important than ever, as on Noen.at is.

In an interview with MeinDzirk.at , Kern also emphasizes that despite the robust economy, as insolvencies in companies like Kika/Leiner or Brucha, consist. The unemployment rate in Lower Austria is currently 7.8 percent, whereby Kern emphasizes that the need for qualified workers is still high. In view of this situation, the integration of women into the labor market plays a crucial role, especially since many work part -time and the demand increases in many industries.

The labor market situation is characterized by a mismatch between qualified workers and vacancies. This is reinforced by the need to keep women longer in the work process, since the pensionant age has been increased. Kern sees great opportunities in female potential: "We need women to make a valuable contribution," she says. The planned kindergarten offensive, which provides for support for two -year -olds from autumn 2024, should also promote the work of young women and enable better reconciliation of work and family.
