National Consultation on Youth Employment

The National Consultation on Youth Employment was organized to solicit proposals from the Salvadoran youth for the elaboration of a National Policy of Juvenile Employment. 14 departmental and 17 sectoral consultations were organized. These were divided into topical sub-categories such as young people as mothers, young with disabilities, young indigenous peoples, young people at social risk, young people as artists, university students, and others. In addition, five specialized consultations were organized with businessmen, international cooperation agencies, civil society organizations, local governments and research institutes. Finally, 20 young people were trained in the normative framework of the General Youth Policy and Law, the Comprehensive Protection of Children and Adolescents Law (LEPINA), the Labor Code, the First Employment Law and the Entrepreneurship Law.
