Southern Voice, the United Nations Foundation and Espacio Público held a panel on the synergies between Sustainable Development Goal 8 (decent employment) and Sustainable Development Goal 4 (quality education) and its implications in Latin America. Both goals are part of the High-Level Policy Forum 2019 review.
In the event, the findings of the mismatch between the education system and the labour market in two countries were presented: Bolivia (Fundación ARU) and Peru (GRADE). These two research projects are part of Southern Voice’s State of the Sustainable Development Goals initiative. Espacio Público shared the findings of its project on youth, study and employment in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Our senior researcher, Lorena Alcázar, shared the findings of her study on those who are left behind in the implementation of both SDGs in Peru. You can read two articles about the study HERE and HERE.
All presentations focused on the relevance of achieving a quality education and how it can lead to better employment opportunities in the region.
