By Plenary Sessions: Andre Hanimägi

The speaker emphasizes economic aspects, viewing the job creation and financial benefits offered by energy projects as positive. This economic perspective supports strategic investments that secure the energy supply, but these require a rigorous analysis of costs and alternatives.

Economic perspectives emphasize the state's supportive role in the labor market, aiming to retain valuable workers through flexible conditions and compensation for wage discrepancies. The expansion of social benefits is supported to secure people's income and maintain their standard of living in the event of long-term illness. Flexibility in the labor market is considered Estonia's key economic advantage.

Economic perspectives emphasize the state's role in the strategic management of the labor market and its adaptation to future needs. It is crucial to attract investment and support transitioning sectors (such as oil shale) to ensure the workforce remains aligned with these changes.
