El rol de la juventud en el campo colombiano

Abstract

In Colombia, the shortage of young workforce in key sectors such as agriculture and industry has emerged as a growing concern. This phenomenon is attributed to various factors, including migration to urban areas in search of economic opportunities, lack of access to education and technical training in rural areas, and the persistence of violence in certain regions of the country. This trend poses significant challenges for the sustainable development of the country, as the lack of generational turnover threatens the productivity and competitiveness of key sectors of the economy. Effectively addressing this issue requires policies and programs that promote education and training for youth in rural areas, as well as measures to improve security conditions and employment opportunities in these regions.
