20% of the young population
and doubles adult unemployment, according to INDEC statistics.
In addition, according to a report published by Junior Achievement and the ManpowerGroup consultancy,
9 out of 10 young people
admit to having
difficulties
finding a job and their main barrier is lack of experience.
"Plan your future" is aimed at young people between the ages of 16 and 21.
