One of the topics covered in the seminar held in San Salvador was the demographic bonus. This bous is produced by the demographic transition and changes in the age structure of population. In the coming decades, the working age population will remain higher than the inactive population ages, opening a great opportunity so that the structure of the population can be seized as an impulse for development.
The demographic bounus, the economy and inclusion in production systems are closely related.
In many Latin American and Caribbean countries, education, health, housing, transport, and communications institutions and programs were developed. Said programs seek for each individual (men, women and children) to enjoy a healthy life and equal opportunity for all. However, framed in unequal societies, development policies currently coexist with assistance, protection, social security, and other poverty alleviation oriented programs.
