ORTIZ FIGUEROA, Astrid; LLAMAS REMBAO, Linda Irene  and  HUESCA REYNOSO, Luis. Labor insertion for the Youth: A review for Latin America and Mexico. Vértice univ. [online]. 2024, vol.26, n.95, e143.  Epub Jan 14, 2025. ISSN 2683-2623.  https://doi.org/10.36792/rvu.v26i95.143.

The paper has a two-fold objective: first, to discuss the social programs related to the labor insertion of youth in Latin America and Mexico, and second, to characterize the eligibility of the population of the Youth Building the Future Program in Mexico. Chile ranks first place with 26 insertion programs, followed by Argentina with 18, Uruguay with 14, and Mexico with 12, along with Colombia and Brazil with 11. There is wide evidence confirming that most programs have a positive effect on labor insertion in Latin American countries, and in the case of Mexico, the success rate is up to 60%. The results of the characterization show that eligibility for women is greater than in men as they are more impacted by this condition, and when they have children, a higher share (62.4%) is included, while eligibility for men eligible with children is impacted to a lesser extent (4.1%).
