1.3 million people who received Empower Work will be divided into two programs. One will be for those under 49 years of age and seeking job reintegration.
The other will help the most vulnerable sectors such as older adults or mothers. The aim is to make labor insertion more efficient, since currently only 1.3% of the beneficiaries achieved formal employment. The new norm disengages the updating of social assistance from the evolution of the minimum wage, says Clarín. It grants the Minister of Human Capital the power to set the new amounts that the beneficiaries will collect.
