This book presents the results of a research done between
1997 and 1999 in five Latin American countries: Argentina, Chile, Colombia,
Mexico and Peru. The study was done in the framework of the Latin American
Network of Education and Work and had the support of the International
Development Research Centre (IDRC), the Ford Foundation and the Unit
of Prospective Studies of the Planning and Cooperation Ministry of Chile.
The research count with the participation of Jaime Saavedra and Juan
Chacaltana from GRADE (Peru), Clara Ramírez Gómez and Oscar Castro from
the CIDE (Chile) and Enrique Pieck from the Universidad Iberoamericana
(Mexico). The project was coordinated by Maria Antonia Gallart from
the Population Studies Centre (Argentina).
The book presents the findings of this collaborative research
that implied constant communication and exchange among participants
and also the results of three seminars that were organized during the
process. In November 1999 the last seminar took place in Buenos Aires
where the national research reports were discussed. This event received
the valuable contribution of the following commentators: Claudia Jacinto,
Javier Lasida, Félix Mitnik, Guillermo Neiman and Luis Osvaldo Roggi.
Their comments are included in the book following each national study.
The findings of the research are a substantive and empirically
fundamental contribution to youth training in poverty contexts in Latin
America. Hopefully, this book will contribute to the design and implementation
of social policies for these sectors and, thus, foster justice and equity
in the Latin American countries as they start the 21st century.
