Campaign for a Citizen Consultation of the Comprehensive Law for the Promotion of First Employment for Young Workers

The campaign for Citizen Consultation of the Comprehensive Law for the Promotion of First Employment for the Youth was carried out by the National Youth Commission of the Nicaraguan Network for Democracy and Local Development. The campaign was carried out through a process of citizen participation that relied on 18 Concertation Tables in 14 municipalities across the country. In these dialogue spaces, where young people, government and NGO representatives, and the private sector all participated, issues were discussed that directly concern the Nicaraguan youth and the guidelines that could improve the Bill of Promotion of the First Employment Contracts for Young Workers. The campaign concluded with a comparative legal analysis, a Youth Employment manifesto and a proposal to improve the content of the bill.
