Labour market policies

Several countries in the region have implemented labour policies designed to address the extreme poverty and unemployment affecting some sectors of the population (passive policies). At the same time, they have adopted other policies geared towards creating productive jobs (active policies). The latter contain innovative elements both in their design and in the mechanisms established for their application. Most of the programmes examined here are currently in the process of being implemented, and it would therefore be difficult to assess their impact at this stage.
