How to Grow the Economy?
Currently,
few Costa Ricans, but especially young people between the ages of 17 and 24,
have the skills needed by companies that most easily offer jobs.
Today
this population suffers unemployment of 39%; that is, four times more than the
national average.
It
is necessary to know how to better execute the 8% of the Gross Domestic Product
that every year is destined for education so that it is concentrated
especially in broader programs of learning English, as well as skills typical
of engineering, technology and customer service. Client especially regarding
tourism.
If
Costa Rica was to facilitate these skills to students in public schools, they
would improve the country's economic growth and
productivity.
Areas
related to tourism, medical devices or shared service centers are three of the
most important that today could collect a large part of the mass that does not
have work, if all had the necessary skills.
Several
of this information was evaluated within the 2018 State of the Nation Report,
presented last week.
How
to Solve the Problem?
The first thing would be the implementation of dual education, especially in
technical colleges.
With
this, students, would receive professional and educational training, which is
managed with teachings in theory and practice in two different places.
First
in the educational institution and then in a company or organization where they
carry out the didactic activities they learned in school.
With
this, high school students over 15 years of age could occupy up to 10% of the
places in a company.
The the second point is to rethink the curriculum that is taught in public schools, in
order to strengthen the teaching of a second language and other skills.
Unemployed
youth and unskilled people do not have access to the highest-paying jobs, nor
to those companies that have better opportunities to open new jobs.
The
reasons have already been stated, the lack of skills in the command of a second
language (English and Portuguese the most required), soft skills, especially
those related to technology or engineering, mean that these positions continue
to be filled.
Likewise, Sectors with Chains To Free Zone Companies
-
Today drivers of the economy - are also a multiplier of employment, but there
is little development of these ecosystems around activities such as high
technology manufacturing.
Between
1990 and 2017, 51% of the income inequality among the employed was explained by
the existing salary differences, the remaining 49% was divided by sex, age,
geographical location, among others, indicated the report State of the Nation.
Inequality
decreases when there is a sustained increase in GDP growth and productivity for
at least four years.
