The course identifies several population groups that benefit from labor inclusion initiatives due to their vulnerable status. These include youth, women, people with disabilities, individuals in the process of reintegration, armed conflict victims, Afro-descendants, indigenous people, and populations living in poverty or extreme poverty. The course examines the specific challenges these groups face and how inclusion policies can address opportunity gaps.\n

You'll develop skills to analyze, evaluate, develop, and manage public policies related to labor inclusion. Specifically, you'll learn to understand inclusion dynamics from theoretical perspectives, model labor market structures and frictions, evaluate public policies using empirical evidence, and calculate relevant indicators using primary and secondary data sources. These skills are valuable for research, policy development, and program implementation in both public and private sectors.\n

No prior experience is required. This is an introductory course designed to provide you with the fundamental concepts and tools needed to understand inclusive labor markets. The course builds knowledge progressively, making it accessible to beginners while still providing valuable insights for those with some background in economics or policy studies.\n

This course specifically focuses on inclusion in labor markets rather than general labor economics. It examines labor markets through the lens of expanding opportunities for disadvantaged groups, addressing wage gaps, discrimination, human capital investment, and mobility issues. The emphasis is on developing and evaluating public policies that promote more inclusive labor markets, particularly in Latin American contexts.\n

Upon successful completion of all course requirements, you'll receive a verified certificate from URosarioX that you can share on platforms like LinkedIn. If you choose the audit track, you'll have access to course materials but won't receive a certificate. The knowledge and skills gained are applicable to roles in policy analysis, human resources, social development, and economic research.
