The present essay focuses its development on the analysis of two important fields for our country: human capital and innovation. On the first, we emphasize the critical challenges facing the youth sector for its acquisition and development. Likewise, in terms of innovation, we ponder over some new public policy instruments that are being developed in other latitudes with positive results. Finally, we develop a proposal that tries to connect both points. That is, an instrument, the social impact bond, with proven results in other territories, projecting it and adapting it to a possible implementation in the youth population of the service sector, specifically in the tourism sector, around their first work experience. The formula is proposed at the scale level for prototyping, validation and obtaining lessons learned.

In an unprecedented event of global and intersectoral repercussion, the service sector - due to its inherent implication of direct interaction - has been one of the most affected, with the travel industry standing out. Current projections foresee a gradual recovery fraught with much confusion. A fundamental factor that affects the habit of traveling comes from economic income. This, according to projections for Latin America and the Caribbean, would see a considerable loss in the progress achieved in the last two decades. Thus, the volume of potential domestic and interregional demand would see a substantial reduction. In such a scenario, the destinations where the market share is predominantly international would be the most affected. Hence the need for public policies on such geographic spaces and their economic agents. Thus, this article lists public policy options in the labour, fina...

Analiza el potencial desarrollo de laboratorios de innovación en el sector público específicamente en el sector turismo. En un contexto que se torna más volátil y cambiante, los problemas públicos se vuelven cada vez más complejos. Para hacerle frente, la innovación se convierte en un componente esencial de comprender, asimilar y adoptar en las organizaciones. En virtud de ello, la innovación no es nueva, lo que sí es -relativamente- nuevo es su abordaje e incorporación en la agenda del sector público. Uno de los instrumentos que están empleando las administraciones públicas para impulsar y canalizar la innovación es por medio de los laboratorios de innovación. Los laboratorios de innovación son unidades que encierran una lógica de funcionamiento bastante disímil al de las organizaciones públicas existentes como la tendencia experimental y la absorción de riesgos en ...
