The author subsequently analyzes some of the situations of labor vulnerability of population groups in the Federal District who are of working age according to data from the National Occupation and Employment Survey (ENOE). These conditions are analyzed in depth through interviews conducted with applicants to the Program and with its implementers and evaluators. The article ends with an analysis of the scope of the program in relation to previous analysis and a reflection on its relevance as a policy of labor well-being within the context of the current crisis.
