Santo Domingo.<\/strong>\u2013 The Minister of Labor, Eddy Olivares, announced that the institution will strengthen the inclusion of people over 45 years of age in the RD-Trabaja employability programs, after receiving a proposal from the Alliance for Peace Group to promote access to employment without age discrimination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative was presented by economist Angie Fondeur de Morin, who delivered to the official a study that evidences the difficulties faced by people aged 40 and over in entering, remaining in, or re-entering the formal labor market, despite having experience and productive capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the meeting, Olivares considered that age should not become an obstacle to accessing employment and urged the business sector to value the experience, responsibility, and willingness to<\/strong> work of this segment of the population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The minister stated that the increase in the life expectancy of Dominicans makes it necessary to review hiring criteria, understanding that more and more people remain active and in a condition to continue contributing to the country’s economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the data presented by the Alliance for Peace Group, the participation of people between 40 and 50 years old within the unemployed population went from 16.4%<\/strong> in 2018 to 20%<\/strong> in 2024, while their presence among the employed population has remained practically unchanged over the last decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the proposal, the organization suggests establishing mechanisms to incentivize the hiring of people over 40 years of age, including a gradual participation in the payrolls of public and private institutions, adapted to the characteristics of each sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olivares maintained that this approach is aligned with the principles of equality and non-discrimination established in the Constitution and in Convention 111 of the International Labour Organization (ILO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Likewise, he reported that the Ministry of Labor will prioritize people over 45 years of age within the RD-Trabaja programs, through training, guidance, labor intermediation, and connection with vacancies in the formal market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The official assured that the institution will continue to promote public policies aimed at expanding employment opportunities and reducing the barriers that limit access to decent work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
