Mandates sensibilizados sobre la dinamica de la informalidad, las politicas efectivas de formalizacion y el cumplimiento de las normas

This project aims at increasing formal employment and extending social protection coverage, as well as reducing unacceptable forms of employment in Paraguay. The intervention strategy is guided by the provisions of the Transition from the Informal to the Formal Economy Recommendation, 2015 (No. 204). It comprises three main components: i) supporting the design of a national employment plan validated by tripartite constituents; ii) improving compliance with international labour standards and the effectiveness of the labour inspection system; and iii) strengthening public employment services, social protection institutions as well as constituents’ capacity to advocate and support policies that promote formalisation. The strategy is implemented with the close involvement of representatives of the Government of Paraguay (in particular the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Social Security), and with employers’ and workers’ organisations and places special emphasis on employment formalisation in rural and peri-urban areas. This project contributes to the country’s efforts to advance towards the attainment of SDG target 8.3 (Promote development-oriented policies that support productive activities, decent job creation, entrepreneurship, creativity and innovation, and encourage formalization and growth of micro-, small- and medium-sized enterprises including through access to financial services); target 10.2 (By 2030, empower and promote the social, economic and political inclusion of all, irrespective of age, sex, disability, race, ethnicity, origin, religion or economic or other status); and target 10.4 (Adopt policies especially fiscal, wage, and social protection policies and progressively achieve greater equality).
