This is provided for by the national program of monthly allowances for young people who are employed for the first time in sectors of strategic importance, launched on August 14. It provides for the provision of young people under 35 with a tax-free monthly allowance of 3,000 lei.

Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization Doina Nistor emphasized that involving young people in the creation of value-added products is an investment in the future of the country. "Thanks to the state's support and real employment opportunities, we guarantee that young people will become the engine of Moldova's economic transformation," she emphasized. The Electronic Governance Agency, which participated in the development of the program, explained that young people aged 18 to 35 who have a secondary or higher education diploma, domestic or foreign, equivalent to CTICE, can participate in the program.
