Concern for the working youth, who have been a
               part of the movement from its inception, is a key
               component of the movement's activities even
               today. According to a survey conducted by the
               movement, about 62% of youth participate in the
               labor market throughout the year, as workers or as
               job seekers.

               Additionally, the movement cares for teenagers
               who study in 24 vocational schools across the
               country.

               insurance that will cover their injuries during work.

               In the youth movement’s early days, it was seen
               as a place for all, including populations not
               traditionally included in the Labor movement.
