The actions included: creating the basis for unassisted existence, social and educatioonal hepl, and employment of white collar workers. These were innovative actions that were undertaken too late to bring visable effects before the end of the interwar period. They were initiated by the Work Found and the national and local authorities as well as numerous economic and socio-cultural organizations were engaged. Creation of the basis for indepedent existence aimed et supporting the unemployed in creating new workplaces or increasing the standard of the existing ones that were sources of income. Social and educational hepl was supposed to contribute (at least partially) to gaining occupational indepedence by the unemployed.
