The Cypriot government has approved a plan to double the number of inspectors at the Ministry of Labour and Social Insurance. Labour Minister Marinos Mousiouttas announced that this increase aims to enhance the oversight of illegal and undeclared work in the country. Currently, there are eight inspectors, and the ministry plans to expedite hiring to ramp up inspections in various workplaces.
The decision follows cabinet approval and is expected to lead to a corresponding increase in the number of inspections conducted, with Mousiouttas indicating that the goal is to perform 10,000 inspections annually by the end of 2027. This initiative is positioned as a response to concerns about the prevalence of undeclared employment, although there are considerations about its potential impact on labor shortages in certain sectors.
