JOINT INCLUSION MEMORANDUM. LITHUANIA
2003

In accordance with the provisions of the Accession Partnership, the Government of Lithuania has prepared, with the European Commission's Directorate-General for Employment and Social Affairs, a Joint Inclusion Memorandum, with the purpose of preparing the country for full participation in the open method of co-ordination on social inclusion upon accession. The Memorandum outlines the principal challenges in relation to tackling poverty and social exclusion, presents the major policy measures taken by Lithuania in the light of the agreement to start translating the EU's common objectives into national policies, and identifies the key policy issues for future monitoring and policy review. Progress in implementing such policies will be assessed in the context of the EU social inclusion process, whose goal is to make a significant impact on the eradication of poverty in Europe by 2010.

Taking into account recent changes and social security needs for the next ten years it is expected that:

·      the population will decrease: the number of persons below working age will decrease, due mainly to a falling birth rate; and

·      the number of working individuals will remain stable, while the working population as a proportion of the general population will increase.

Key Challenges

Given a high level of unemployment and a relatively low standard of living, Lithuania does not expect to solve problems related to poverty and social exclusion in a short period of time. The key challenge is to overcome extreme poverty and to reduce poverty and social exclusion during the next twelve years. However, to achieve this it is necessary to tackle the following main challenges: a high rate of unemployment, low employment, inadequate education of the labour force and underdeveloped health care and social security systems.

However, too small a proportion of the Lithuanian population uses computer networks. There are wide differences in the level of computerisation of large city dwellers and people in the provinces. Lithuanian people lack the skills to make full use of information technologies.

There are about 30,000 persons in Lithuania who cannot, because of their disabilities, receive and process information in the usual ways. In the past decade no efforts have been made to adapt the information environment to the needs of such persons. Because of their low levels of income, disabled persons have limited opportunities to acquire the equipment necessary for the use of the Internet and to cover user costs.

What needs to be done?

–      accelerate the creation of the Internet educational information system in Lithuania on the basis of information technologies;

–      create a broad network of public internet sites; by implementing the agreement between the alliance „Window into the Future“ and the Ministry of the Interior; achieve the average internet penetration rate of the European Union by 2015; and establish 300 internet centres during the next few years. In this way internet services will become available even to low-income persons;

–      supplement and install the LGPS information system throughout Lithuania and use it together with the territorial labour exchanges;

–      implement a project run by the alliance and the Ministry of Science and Education which is aimed at teaching Lithuanian inhabitants free of charge how to use the computer and the internet;

–      implement a conceptual framework for adapting the information environment to the needs of people with disabilities; develop methods for adapting the information environment for education, training, vocational rehabilitation and employment of the disabled; create and adapt special aid equipment for people with disabilities, provide them with such equipment and adapt information systems and databases for them; develop norms for adapting the information environment to the needs of people with disabilities;

–      use state budget funds allocated for the Council for Disabled People’s Affairs to finance projects designed to provide access to the Internet for the disabled.

Resolution  No. 1116, 2 September 2004 approved by Government of Republic of Lithuania‚ setting authorities for implementation of the Law on social integration of Disabled People‘ 2 article states:

            ‚Authorize Ministry of Social Security and Labour together with Ministry of Transport and Communications and Committee of Development of Information Society to GoL to organize  adaptation of information environment to meet disabled people requirements‘.
