At a time of uncertainty about Latin America´s socio-economic situation with negative consequences on Central America, in particular, an initiative like EmpreSomos is commendable. Its successful implementation will offer opportunity-rich channels to foster and enhance entrepreneurial and work skills of youngsters. Equally important, it will also contribute to improving social and economic welfare in Central America´s Northern Triangle, thereby mitigating forced migration and its counterproductive effects on families and societies.
