Entrepreneurship and Employment for Youth and Women in Poor Neighborhoods
The project will approach the problems of the young people and the women of Uruguay, specifically in the precarious establishments of the west of Montevideo, as well as of the district of Saladero de Salto. The project will contribute to give answers to: (i) the difficulties of young people and women to find jobs; (ii) to surpass the lack of enterprising competitions faced by young people and women of these areas; and (iii) the lack of resources to make investments in new microenterprises.
