Start the Re-Start Project

Statistics in countries all over Europe demonstrate (even if to a different extent depending on national structures) the risk of social exclusion and of poverty especially at an older age for women if they are not having their own adequate income over their life-time. National social programmes provide different funding and protection schemes for maternity leaves, which may encourage women staying at home or re-joining work. The length of the absence from the labour market may always be seen in relation to this funding and to specific components like: the level of education and possible income a woman might achieve; the structural preconditions like the availability of care for children and elderly family members or availability or distance of the working place. RE-START project aims to tackle this problem and support women in this situation. 

With the RE-START project, partners from Spain, Greece, Cyprus, Iceland, Bulgaria and Poland aim to develop a very helpful online tool to support women – after staying at home – to re-enter the labour market. It shall therefore address the 3 biggest challenges for women at this stage of their life:
– gain motivation and self-confidence to do so.
– receive support in orientation on the market in order to succeed in finding a suitable job.
– promote their skills to identify support networks to overcome structural and social lacks of support.

Objectives of the Project

The RE-START online package shall provide a holistic package for empowerment of women to re-enter professional life in order to reduce their risk of social exclusion and poverty, specifically at an older age. Thus, the project shall significantly impact their chances to do so and, through this, contribute to a better social and economic situation of the women and their families.
