– I have no doubt that even a few hours of work will mean so much socially many vulnerable.

so says the social security Mai Mercado in a press release about the new ‘social exemption certificate’, which is intended for people who, due to the f.ex mental health problems have difficulty finding regular work or take care of a training.

In advance, there are created more than 25,000 so-called mini-flex jobs, where the weekly working time is up to ten hours, and the minister – which does not put numbers on how many social exemption certificate, she reckons there are issued – emphasize that the scheme can help both citizens and businesses:

– Frikortet means that citizens will not be deducted from other benefits, while they work in odd jobs.

– Companies (get) an opportunity to get solved less tasks and at the same time lifting a social responsibility without a lot of red tape, says Mai Mercado, but what do you say to the most vulnerable of Denmark around 300,000 benefit claimants and recipients of anticipatory pension is now allowed to earn $ 20,000 per year – without being pulled in performance?
