Description
Across Latin America, labour market inclusion remains a pressing challenge. More than half of workers in Latin America and the Caribbean are in informal employment, while youth unemployment and persistent gender gaps continue to limit economic opportunities. As AI, digitalisation, and climate transition reshape economies, the risk of deepening inequalities is real—but so are the opportunities to create more inclusive local, pathways to good jobs. This discussion will take an in-depth look at how place-based approaches can drive more inclusive labour markets. It will address issues such as maximising the potential of the popular economy to support economic resilience and social cohesion to how to make the most of new economic opportunities opened up by shifting global value chains.
