analysis: The text discusses the implementation of a program aimed at combating racism and racial discrimination, specifically focusing on the effects of racial discrimination on the education, training, and employment of children of minorities, particularly those of migrant workers. This suggests that the topic is related to social and human rights issues, rather than economic or environmental concerns.
