Gharibashvili explained the initiative would provide socially vulnerable citizens fit for work with jobs instead of the current social assistance, pointing out that over 200,000 out of 600,000 citizens in the socially vulnerable category were able to work, but "do not participate in the economy and are demotivated to be employed legally."
"We must help socially vulnerable citizens, children, and people with disabilities, everyone who needs it. These people need employment, [social] activation, self-realization,” Gharibashvili stated.
