(i) increase the productivity of the economy;
(ii) improve the effectiveness of public management;
(iii) promote social mobility and consolidate the middle class.
The strategy will support cross-cutting challenges related to immigration; gender, diversity and disability; climate change; digital economy; and economic integration.
