What it is
DYPA subsidises private businesses that hire unemployed women on the unemployment register, with emphasis on mothers of minor children. The programme has 15,000 places: 10,000 full-time and 5,000 part-time.
The subsidy lasts 12 months, and the job must be kept for 3 more months. For full-time work it covers 70% of the monthly cost, up to €879.20, or 80%, up to €1,004.80, for long-term unemployed women (over 12 months) or mothers of children up to 15. For part-time work it covers 80%, up to €680 a month.
You do not apply yourself: the business applies, and the unemployed women are referred only by the competent DYPA office (ΚΠΑ2) with a referral note. Full-time applications closed automatically once the places were filled; DYPA is expected to reopen them for the new places. For part-time work the programme is open.
