National Dialogue for Employment
The "National Dialogue for Employment" was a project carried out by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security (MTSS) with the support of the International Labor Organization (ILO) in order to create an input for public policies in labor matters and promote the concept of "Decent Work". The project focused on the following five areas: youth employment and training; policies to address the current shortage of labor supply; adequacy between qualification structures of supply and labor demand; employment policies for the different phases of the economic cycle; employment and policies at the micro and ?meso-economic? levels. For each axis a dialogue space was created for approximately one month, open to all persons related to the matter, whether they are independent persons or belonging to workers' organizations or non-governmental organizations. The methodology in each axis included a public input seminar (diagnosis and policy proposals), working group sessions and a public presentation of agreements and conclusions. As a result, the design and approval of the Juvenile Employment Act stands out.
