Among the policies of the new majority is the plan to build 2,500 – 3,000 housing developments in the next three to five years. The new apartments will be available to renters and housing benefits will be based on the individual’s finances rather than the same applying for everyone.
As reported by visir.is, the new majority will also benefit families with children as the budget for schools and after-school activities will be increased by ISK100 million (approx. US$857,000) along side reducing current kindergarten fees.
The majority promises to increase the budget for the disabled and the elderly as they will strengthen the availability of home-assistance so people can stay in their homes longer and not be required to enter old folks homes due to lack of social support.
Homeless and addicts will be given the help they need in an attempt to minimize damage to themselves and the community.
The new majority plans to eliminate sex-based wage-difference to actively work to diminish the negative effects of stereotyping, sexification, prostitution, and to counteract sexual violence.
