TACKLING SOCIAL Injustice

” We have already witnessed a significant and pervasive inequality in our society since COVID ( pandemic ). Inequality is a very significant issue to remain tackled”, he added.
” We are currently addressing these concerns with the government’s policies, such as subsidizing, providing direct grants to the poor people and the middle-income,” said the minister.
Social service organizations like Caritas Macau predicted that more people would need assistance, particularly the older and migrant workers.
Under the direction of the Foreign central government, the Macau specialists have been placing a solid emphasis on social security since the state’s handover to China in 1999.  ,
Caritas, which has been providing assistance to impoverished occupants for more than 40 years, is able to assist at least 10,000 people each year with the support of the authorities through services like meals bank handouts and elder care services.
” Macau has 170, 000 migrant workers, among them more than 70, 000 are non-Chinese talking. They need our assistance because they come from many various nations. However, our support to them is extremely limited”, said Caritas ‘ secretary-general Paul Pun.
” Fundamentally, there’s no social security or financial aid for them”.
Some citizens believe the authorities should work to promote a group that is both abundant with Portuguese and Chinese history and pursuing higher economic development.
