Unlocking Labour Markets: Removing Bureaucratic Barriers to Enhance Opportunities for the Young Workforce

In 2022, INDECOPI identified that 23 universities and 10 professional associations in 16 regions were imposing more than 700 bureaucratic barriers, affecting the employment insertion of more than 36 thousand new professionals. 

Given this, the Voluntary Elimination of Bureaucratic Barriers Programme was implemented to open regulated professional services at the subnational level.  

Based on behavioral economic tools, INDECOPI engaged with universities and professional associations to eliminate 786 bureaucratic barriers in 17 regions.
