Labour and Social Security State Minister to Depart to Attend Third Regional Seminar on Social Development in Santiago, Chile

   

Dr. the Hon. Norman Dunn, State Minister of Labor and Social Security, will leave the country tomorrow to represent Jamaica at the eagerly awaited Third Regional Seminar on Social Development in Santiago, Chile.

Key experts from across the region will gather at the seminar, which will be held under the theme “Promoting Labour Inclusion as a Way to Overcome Inequalities and Informality in Latin America and the Caribbean,” to discuss critical issues pertaining to Social Development and Economic Prosperity.

This third Regional Seminar on Social Development aims to foster discussion on labor inclusion policies that advance efforts to close gaps among academics, labor policy decision-makers in the region, and experts from multilateral organizations and the United Nations.

The Seminar will take place from June 27–June 29, 2023, and will feature lectures by renowned authorities in the fields of Labour and Social Security. The importance of technology in promoting workforce inclusion, social protection programs for at-risk groups, and labour market regulations to diminish informality are among the important issues on the agenda.

The State Minister of Labour and Social Security is expected to return to Jamaica on July 2, 2023.
