Youth employment: the bicentennial scenario

Resumo

This is an exploratory descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, based on a documentary review, of a narrative type, with the objective of analyzing the situation of youth employment in Peru, within the framework of the bicentennial celebrations of the country's independence. Unemployment has hit the Peruvian population hard, especially young people and much more so young women. Although it is true that the rates of its decrease show a slight improvement, these data will be modified by the recent pandemic situation we are going through. It is important for the State to intervene with policies to protect and promote young people in the search for their first job, providing them with solidity through the training of hard and soft skills, which will facilitate a competitive performance in their work. Private enterprise plays a basic role and is reflected in its corporate social responsibility; providing facilities, incentives and motivations to them is a concern of the future political leaders of our country.
