TRADE AND GENDER

TRADE AND THE YOUTH
The youth face challenges in order to enter into the Labour market and gather benefits derived from commerce.
The manufacturing sector is where the youth, due to their adaptability and learning capacity, can best insert themselves within the domestic productive sector.
Due to the fact that a large amount the youth are non-qualified workers, there is a need for policies and programs that train them.
These policies and programs include legal and fiscal incentives for hiring the youth, as well as programs for wholesome education, reduction of schooling, and an adequate legal frame for labour protection.
The Bolivian Government and other institutions (NGOs, international cooperation organisms, etc.) should plan and implement such policies and programs, so the opportunities coming from trade can be capitalized.
