Christie Morreale was Fabrice Grosfilley’s guest this morning at 7.50 am on Bel RTL. The Walloon Minister of Health and Employment spoke of the crisis that is looming on the job market.
Due to the health crisis caused by the coronavirus pandemic, an increase in the number of job seekers is inevitable in our country. For Wallonia, we went from 200,000 to 207,000 unemployed. “Since 2013, this had never happened. We were constantly decreasing. The crisis has brought up the figures and we must expect an increase. So, we must react”, comments Christie Morreale.
The Walloon Institute for Statistics estimates that there could be 17,000 more people in 2021. How can these unemployed people quickly find a job? “It takes a lot of agility on the part of Forem and the Public Employment Service is ready or in any case is getting into battle order to be able to respond to this difficulty”, ensures the Walloon minister of employment.
A single advisor and more digitalization
According to her, the authorities want to make life easier for job seekers. In particular, they will have a referent, a unique person to contact forem. “This advisor will be a real partner in finding solutions with them”, assure Christie Morreale.
Remote management will also be favored with an increase in digitalization. “This will allow great progress for all those who have sufficient digital maturity. I think it is not necessary to have to go specially to the Forem. They can manage this remotely and the advisers remain available by all modern means. You have to evolve “, believes the socialist.
