Job creation and minimum wage
Mrs. Boluarte pointed out that —committed to social dialogue and harmonious labor relations, after more than a year of estrangement between workers and employers— the Government has managed to get labor unions and business associations to resume dialogue at the National Council for Labor and Employment Promotion —an important step for the democratic governance of labor relations.
"My Government hopes that, as a result of this dialogue between labor unions and business guilds, we will soon be able to announce to the country the Minimum Vital Wage increase, which will improve the living conditions of our workers," she said.
The top official added that, from January to June, the National Program for Employability managed to benefit about 2,900 people through the services of Job Training, Certification of Labor Skills, and Self-Employment Promotion.
