Key Points Discussed:

• The Swedish National Model for Employment Clauses in Public Procurement aims to create job opportunities for marginalized groups and promote social inclusion. Through this model, public procurement is utilized to benefit immigrants, youth, disabled individuals, and the long-term unemployed.

• It is explored the function of a socioeconomic impact calculation tool to assess the costs and benefits of employment clauses in tenders. This tool enables buyers to make informed decisions and consider the potential impact of their procurement on society.

• In France, social clause facilitators play a crucial role in connecting authorities, businesses, and job seekers from disadvantaged backgrounds. They focus on successfully matching candidates with suitable positions and providing support for long-term integration through training and development programs.
