Technical support on employment in Costa Rica

This project aims at creating decent work, in particular for women and young people. In August 2014 the Government of Costa Rica launched its National Employment and Productive Development Strategy (ENEDP). The ILO contributed to its design and was requested to provide technical support for its implementation. This will include: the promotion of social dialogue on formalization of the informal economy; capacity building and development of regulatory frameworks to promote on-the-job training; technical advice to the Presidential Economic Council and to ILO constituents on the links between economic policy and employment; technical support to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security in order to improve its technical and institutional management capacities for the effective implementation of the ENEDP.
