subsidized employment

Subsidized employment is a government program that encourages businesses to hire specific groups of workers, such as low-income individuals or the long-term unemployed, by providing financial assistance or incentives. This support helps businesses cover part of the wages or costs, making it more affordable for them to hire and retain workers who might otherwise struggle to find employment. The goal is to promote employment opportunities, reduce poverty, and help participants gain work experience and skills to improve their chances of long-term employment.
