# The OECD suggests turning from benefits to child care structures

The OECD recommends that the Greek government change the mix of employment-stimulating measures, turning the resources from welfare policy into long-term measures. In a report presented in Paris, the Agency notes that despite its decline, unemployment remains high, while the employment gap between men and women is large. It proposes shifting costs from birth grants to childcare structures, more training instead of job subsidies, and strengthening paternal leave to increase female employment.
