This article analyzes the labor insertion of young people in Colombia. To reach this purpose, the Gran Encuesta Integrada de Hogares (Great Integrated Household Survey) applied by the Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadística-DANE-(National Administrative Department of Statistics) during the period 2008-2015 to 13 main metropolitan areas in the country was analyzed. The main results are the high levels of unemployment among young people from low-income households, with low levels of education and young women. Also a high proportion of young people working without a written contract was found, which hinders access to stable and quality work. It is concluded that it is necessary to strengthen policies on access to work for young people given that their unemployment and job insecurity persist. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Resumen Los medios ofrecen datos contradictorios sobre la situación laboral de los jóvenes chinos. Las tasas de desempleo son bajas pero preocupan mucho a los dirigentes y a la población. El autor responde a esta contradicción demostrando con su examen del empleo juvenil en China que los jóvenes se quejan más del empleo inadecuado que del desempleo. En concreto, lo que preocupa a los titulados universitarios, que representan en torno a la mitad de la población joven que inicia su vida activa cada año, son las ofertas de empleo y los salarios iniciales por debajo de las expectativas y una disminución de las oportunidades de movilidad ascendente.

The issue of working conditions and labor demand in the field of Psychology has been the subject of several investigations. In Costa Rica, the National Council of Rectors and other research groups have inquired into this issue. In this article we present the results of a documentary analysis aimed at exploring the latest features of labor demand for professionals in Psychology in Costa Rica (e.g., number of vacant posts per year and prerequisites). For this purpose, 1558 vacant posts reported by the Psychology Department at the University of Costa Rica in the period 2012- 2014 were analyzed. We found a decreasing trend in job offers, and a predominance of vacant posts in industrial and organizational areas (64.6%), in private companies (47.5%), and located in the province of San José (41.0%). Most vacant posts (63.5%) required between one and five years of experience, with three years being the most common prerequisite (21.1%). In about half of the vacant posts (45.6%) English language was a requisite. Some other important requirements were software (35.2%) or office software (27.7%) knowledge, membership in the Costa Rican College of Psychologists (16.0%), spreadsheet management (10.6%) and psychological testing management (7.4%). Finally, we present some of the most frequently requested requirements, segregated by area of Psychology in which the vacant post is located, and we conclude with some considerations on the results of this study.
