(Youth and employment: a Trade-union Guide) Montevideo: Cinterfor, 2001. 6 V The problem of youth employment is an outstanding account and a challenge both for developed and developing countries. There is an exceedingly high number of young men and women that remain unemployed for long periods of time, or have to work in precarious conditions or on short-term contracts. On the other hand, the fact that young people should be the worst hit by unemployment, underemployment and uncertain working conditions, and that on top of that most of them should come from low-income families, creates a vicious circle of poverty that passes down from one generation to the next, counteracting traditional evening out mechanisms.  In the case of young people it is particularly important to see to the integrating concept of decent work, promoted by the International Labour Organisation. This concept underscores not only the shortage of existing jobs, but also their defective quality. In that respect, the present Guide has been devised to help trade unions orient their activities with young men and women not only towards their employment, but also their labour organisation.   Vargas, F.; Casanova, F.; Montanaro, L. El enfoque de competencia laboral: manual de formación. (The occupational competencies’ approach: a training manual) Montevideo: Cinterfor, 2001. This manual is intended as a tool for conceptual development in the discussion of workers’ training on the basis of competencies and its different aspects, both regarding the training itself and the management of work. It is intended to be an instrument for analysis and debate, to promote reflection of the role of working men and women, and in particular of the organisations representing them.   The text has been designed trying to offer readers a diversity of concepts, for a better grasp of the competencies’ models enabling them to devise more adequate strategies for upgrading qualifications, employability and the quality of life in general.
	Montanaro, L. (coord.) Manual sobre derechos laborales de los trabajadores y trabajadoras rurales. (Manual of the labour rights of men and women rural workers) Montevideo: Cinterfor, 2001, 136 p This manual is divided into two parts. The first one is intended to provide rural workers and producers with a digest of legal regulations in Uruguay regarding their rights and obligations, in easily understandable, plain language. The second section – complementary to the legal rules insofar as it also safeguards the workers’ rights – is aimed at preventing hazards and accidents in the performance of their tasks. The handbook is intended to fill a gap as guide for consultation and guidance of the rural sector.   Galeano Ramírez, A. Manual de Capacitación para Directivos de Centros de Formación.

	OIT.  Safety, health and welfare on construction sites: A training manual Montevideo: Cinterfor, 1997.  107 p. The number of injuries, accidents and diseases associated with work in construction sites is often greater than in any other industry. It is therefore essential to improve safety and hygiene levels in construction. This straightforward, easy-to-read manual will help to appraise the safety, health and welfare conditions in construction sites in your country, and find solutions to the problems that may arise. It can also be useful for employers, managers and those responsible for safety and health in construction, and is particularly appropriate for training courses. It serves as a complement to the ILO code of practice "Safety and health in construction". The English version of this manual was published by the ILO in 1995.
