The course examines inclusion initiatives benefiting youth, women, people with disabilities, reintegrating individuals, armed conflict victims, Afro-descendants, indigenous people, and populations in poverty. Designed to provide tools for independent research, the course enables students to analyze, evaluate, develop, and manage public policies related to labor inclusion from multiple perspectives: group differences, changes in wage structure and inequality, investment in human development, and mobility and migration.
