Labor policies based on public-private alliances: a reflection from its conception
Abstract
Each country, whether developed or in transition, must design its own policies to achieve full employment. This is a term that helps establish uniformity and reduce the incidence of unfair treatment. However, the management of labor policies does not always guarantee the development of this balance and the implementation of effective development strategies. Achieving superior results requires the participation of public and private actors with diverse competences and interests who employ large numbers of workers and treasure a wealth of talent and creativity. This article is a qualitative examination, of an exploratory-descriptive type, which allows us to reflect on the theoretical conceptions of labor policies and public-private alliances, establishing the links between them, in a rearrangement of efforts to develop forms of collaboration. In this way, the main result is a link based on the development of alliances between both sectors, which is aimed at countless initiatives to strengthen public management. In this sense, it is concluded that the articulation between them transcends an opportunity to manage labor policies, given the sustainability and commitment generated in this type of alliance, in addition to assuming different responsibilities and the condition of being flexible, which would make it possible to respond to the context in which it is developed.
