A core aim of this report is to offer an insight and the latest
evidence as to how policy responses can be designed to be health
protective in times of crisis. The report shows that governments
would do well to promote and invest in social protection measures
such as Active Labour Market Programmes to enhance both health and
the functioning of the labour market. The aim of the report is to
stimulate policy makers, practitioners and researchers to think
differently about how they might minimise the risks of widening
health inequalities and approach the goal of improving the health
of communities and populations.
The report follows a high level forum that was held in Brussels in
January, and involved stakeholders from across sectors.
