Reforming Social Policy in Cyprus is Essential
May 31, 2025
The policy of the Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI) is proving to be flawed and ineffective, leaving many vulnerable social groups outside its framework. The low financial aid provided fails to prevent impoverishment, while bureaucratic weaknesses lead to failures in social support. Economic inequality is viewed as an issue of justice and neglect of social rights, necessitating a new, holistic social policy in Cyprus. These deficiencies must be addressed with targeted interventions for improved social protection.
