As, Cyprus continues to recover, with its GDP being projected to grow by 3.1% in 2017 (Economics Research Centre), important challenges still exist in terms of high levels of unemployment, inequality, poverty and social exclusion; all unfortunate by-products of the recession. Upcoming demographic changes are also expected to exert pressure on the economic efficiency of the system. Therefore, mapping social policies in Cyprus is crucial at this point of time. In this spirit, the paper focuses on the following social policy fields: provision of income support to families, minimum income support, employment- related policies, pensions, health care, long-term care, while other policy areas (early education and child care, education and provisions to asylum seekers) are also briefly addressed.

In a 1960 referendum, the three religious groups were asked to choose to belong to either the Greek Cypriot or the Turkish Cypriot community. They opted to belong to the Greek Cypriot community. The members of all three groups, therefore, enjoy the same privileges, rights and benefits as the members of the Greek Cypriot community, including voting rights, eligibility for public office and election to official government and state positions, at all levels.

All rights reserved ISBN: 978-90-334-6832-2 FOREWORD Within the Centre for Biomedical Ethics and Law of the Catholic University of Leuven - one of the leading bioethical and legal research centres in Europe - we are involved as coordinator, partner or participant in different European research projects. Biomedical ethics and law are rapidly evolving disciplines. Although there exists already a great number of specialized peer reviewed journals and series of books in both disciplines we felt a growing need for a medium through which the results of our research can directly be presented to the research community and the interested community at large. To meet this need we decided to start the European Ethical-Legal Papers. Such papers will also contribute to the transparency we owe to society that finances our research efforts. We also hope that it will contribute to the discussion and the exchange of information and ideas among researchers in Europe and elsewhere.
