Peo criticises lack of dialogue on new demographic measures

Trade union Peo criticised the government on Thursday for not engaging in structured dialogue before announcing the latest set of measures aimed at addressing the country’s demographic challenges and promoting work-life balance.

In a statement, Peo acknowledged that the new measures represent a positive step but said they were insufficient to effectively tackle Cyprus’ demographic problem, citing significant shortcomings in childcare facilities and financial difficulties faced by young couples.
