Paraguay: Public employment services in Latin America and the Caribbean
In Paraguay informal employment and its consequences are more important labour market issues than unemployment per se. The level of informal employment remains high, at 65.8 per cent of total employment in non-agricultural sectors in 2013; for comparison, the regional average registered in 2012 was 47.7 per cent (ILO, 2013). Within that context, this note provides an overview of the main trends and innovations of the Public Employment Services in Paraguay.
