A report from the Research Center of the Parliament indicates that supportive employment grants, despite an increase in resources, have not led to the creation of sustainable jobs or a reduction in poverty. The disproportionate allocation of resources relative to the level of deprivation, the multitude of responsible institutions, weak oversight, and a focus on attracting funding are the main factors behind this inefficiency. Additionally, the real income of lower-income deciles has seen limited growth. It seems that in a situation where there is no economic growth, supportive policies cannot be effective.
