During his presentation, Eng. Slim expressed that “the best way to cope with poverty is employment, health and education. The better education, the better opportunities of jobs in the future”.

And added “it must be a priority to invest in order to urge the employment; it is more important to think how we can generate more employment than be focused in the economic growth, we need to set in motion small and medium-size business, attend the agricultural sector, create infrastructure and concentrate in housing projects”.
