They are looking for a working age in the field from 16 years old. In order to create formal employment opportunities in rural areas, the Chamber of Senators plans to reform the Federal Labor Law before next May so that young people can work in productive activities from the age of 16, reported Ricardo Monreal Ávila.
When participating in the forum “Job Opportunities for Youth in the Agricultural Sector”, organized by the International Horticultural Alliance for the Promotion of Social Responsibility and the National Agricultural Council, the president of the Political Coordination Board (PCB) of the Upper House and coordinator of the Morena parliamentary group said that he is already negotiating with his opposition counterparts to finalize the changes promoted by his co-religionist Nancy Sánchez Arredondo, in the next period of ordinary sessions that will begin on February 1.
“I am convinced that from the legislative space of public policies we must place the countryside as the best opportunity space for the youth who live in the rural world to display their full potential… as a tool that even helps combat violence “, he claimed.
The Federal Labor Law has to be modified, he considered, so that young people can be employed from the age of 16 because to date this is prohibited and companies or producers cannot hire them.
