Ernesto Deibe: "The training and job creation social plans declined by 99%"

The generation of more than 4 million new jobs since 2003 has led to a drastic reduction of traditional social plans. The beneficiaries of the Family Heads represent 1% of the 2 million that was seven years ago.
In this process of replacement of social assistance genuine employment generation has been aided by a process of continuous growth of the training courses for job placement.
The policy articulated by the national government, together with provinces, municipalities, unions and employers, has been that for seven years, 830 thousand people have been trained in different areas.
Secretary for Employment of the nation, Ernesto Deibe, directly linked the fall in unemployment to single digits and the parallel process of abandonment of the classical direct social assistance schemes. "When we came to government in 2003, more than 2 million beneficiaries of the Heads. Today that number has dwindled to 20 000, which are those people who have no chance of having another type of assistance, "said Deibe, in dialogue with Buenos Aires Economico. He also stressed that Argentina is one of the few countries in Latin America where the state is changing the traditional social support policies for other transfer of resources related to job creation and enforcement of social rights.
In this vein, the official pointed out the government's decision to implement the universal child allowance. "This has led to a strengthening of the domestic market and the return of many children and adolescents in the educational system," he said.
"We implemented a policy of full employment. Therefore, there are increasing numbers of people who require training, "said Employment Secretary. Last year over 240 thousand people across the country, passed through different levels of employment and training to complete their basic education.
Thus, for Deibe, "Never in the history of Argentina there were so many people participating in training courses in entering the labor market." The number of persons trained and complete their basic education since 2003-according to the Ministry of Labour of the Nation amounts to 830 000 people.
The secretary remarked that only in the Youth Program with More and Better Jobs, driven by the Government, involving over 65 000 people across the country.
"We have established a working mechanism for training, along with the provinces and municipalities across the country," said Deibe. The scheme put together by the Employment Secretariat of the nation also includes the main sectors of the economy.

Training pulled the job. The massive call for the training because, according to the national official - to "the understanding that training is a key to enter the labor market." In this regard, he recalled that for 7 years generated more than 4 million new jobs.
Deibe recalled that a significant case in terms of employment and preparation for work has been the construction sector. "Before 2003, there were about 45 000 workers in construction and there are currently about 450 000. In recent years, 40 000 people passed through courses related to that activity, "he said.
Employment Secretary framed the formation growth and employment in an economic policy "which allows a fair distribution of income and growth" and said that "for many years in the country there was a systematic destruction of employment." Deibe recalled that before 2003, even provide "supermarket repositories courses because it was the only job opportunity."
In terms of sectors of the economy that drive growth and increased demand for personnel, said Deibe construction, metalworking and software industry.
"The importance of this process is that they have incorporated community governments also own employment policies, adapted to local realities," said Deibe. He also stressed that "the preparation for employment has become a true state policy that all political and economic sectors have included as a priority to sustain growth."

The replacement of social plans for genuine employment, underpinned by an interesting range of training are presented as the axes of a state policy that provide insights into the current process of economic growth.
