Abstract

This article synthesizes the results of a study that analyzed the content of current social programs in Latin America as some of the responses constructed to respond to the Millennium Development Goals. The quantitative and qualitative study specifically observed social programs for training and insertion of youth in countries in the region, mapping the experiences and presenting their characteristics since 1990. The study found the insertion of youth in informal work, without social protection, and an increase in unemployment rates and a lack of employment stability. In these countries, there is a significant number of private programs in partnership with civil society, instead of a qualified investment in the consolidation of structures for the youth population.
