Theme of the conference is social investment:
During the current financial and economic crises and later as well, we are in precarious situation. Each of us can be dismissed at any time and become unemployed, or be in position of no income. In reality the whole society is precarious situation and in bad living conditions. The core of our discussion is:
a) What meaning has social investment for sustainable growth?
b) What do we know about social investment in social policy as a tool for poverty eradicating?
c) Is it possible to attain social development only by economic growth and by raising employment?
d) How can we guarantee inclusive growth?
e) Do we have surplus of people or shortage? What is purpose of human being?
Outcomes from the conference could be social agenda implementation in our societies. Elaborating of the common message for the joint global conference on social work, education and social development 9. – 12. July 2014, Melbourne, Australia, would be one of the conference targets.
