Definition
According to the European Commission’s definition, disadvantaged workers include categories of workers with difficulties entering the labour market without assistance and, hence, requiring the application of public measures aimed at improving their employment opportunities. In addition to the labour market perspective, this is also relevant in terms of social cohesion, which is one of the central objectives of the European Union and of its Member States. The most relevant groups of disadvantaged workers are: disabled workers, young workers, women living in depressed areas, migrants in the labour market and the long-term unemployed; nevertheless, other disadvantage conditions may be included.
