Maintaining the adequacy of future pensions will require further improvements and already introduced reforms need to avoid backsliding - one of the statements made at pension debate at @OECD_Social with contribution of Social Protection Committe chair @RaitKuuse.

First tweet from SPC. Today approved review on EU2020 and had fruitful discussion about work plan for the next year. Social policy matters!

[Rait Kuuse @RaitKuuse]

Next step approved in our path to "social policy in every policy" as Estonian Goverment approved our request for accessibility task-force. Its a matter of survival in ageing societies not a one-day trend.

We see a lot of improvements after the crisis in EU, nevertheless the poverty target hasnt been met. One issue that concerns me is the dedication towards reforms in MS needed to soften the impact of future crisises. Investig to wellbeing is a cross-sectoral need. #ESDE2019

[Rait Kuuse @RaitKuuse]

Active ageing and technology make more sense also in Estonia. We have a strong public sector drive for innovation, but here its a necessity to push municipalities to own and embrace solutions new technologies can provide in the area of home care and well being. #aalforum2019

[Rait Kuuse @RaitKuuse]

We tend to overestimate the abilities and skills of young generations in relation to e-government - they are less aware of e-services then we automatically think. Nevertheless of advanced level in social media and virtual reality... #economyofwellbeing

[Rait Kuuse @RaitKuuse]

Economy of wellbeing is a global challenge, EU can strenghten its role as globale spokesperson. Why to limit with EU agenda setting? #economyofwellbeing #EU2019FI

[Rait Kuuse @RaitKuuse]

Wellbeing is far wider concept than social policies are able to embrace. Finland started a necessary debate at right level to change the perception of wellbeing. Happy to contribute!

@FreekSpinnewijn @FEANTSA Thank you!

Tänuväärt arutelu, meie elukeskkond on vananeva ühiskonna vaates üsna kõlbmatu ja suurendab sotsiaalkaitse kulusid. Lahendus on sarnaselt energiasäästule ligipääsetavuse standardi kehtestamine. Vähemasti ei tule uut vigast keskkonda juurde #suudpuhtaks

[Rait Kuuse @RaitKuuse]

Kas kõlas just erasektori soov põhjamaade suunal astuda? Kõikides põhjamaades näiteks ei ole ka palgalõhet sellisel tasemel nagu meil, meie veel vaidleme, et kas ikka on päris teema. #suudpuhtaks

[Rait Kuuse @RaitKuuse]

Kas kuidagi saaks rääkida saates kasutamata sõna ametnik? Äkki jõuaks siis eesmärkide, ühiskondliku kokkulepete jt küsimusteni ka. #suudpuhtaks

[Rait Kuuse @RaitKuuse]

Saime hiljuti ühest seadusest lahti, oli kohe hea meel. Ja kohe suudeti tekitada olukord, kus nõutakse täpsemat regulatsiooni ja tundub, et saab ka. #suudpuhtaks

[Rait Kuuse @RaitKuuse]

Jääb mulje, et ametnike suur hulk on riigi peamine arengupidur. Ja jätkusuutlik äri on avaliku raha eest avaliku teenuse pakkumine. Mhm, äkki on küsimused siiski suuremad? #suudpuhtaks
