[Sally Burch - ALAI]

Friends,

employment, for inclusion in the document.  Thanks, Beatriz.

Work / employment

ICTs should be used as an instrument for the creation of 
genuine and sustainable sources of work of the various 
forms adopted in the information society. The use of ICTs 
should be promoted in order to generate employment with a 
strong profile of social inclusion, providing new labor 
opportunities above all for those who have been excluded 
from the formal employment system and who comprise the 
majority of the structurally unemployed. ICTs should be an 
instrument for avoiding labor discrimination among those 
groups most affected by unemployment, such as the disabled 
and vulnerable groups (including those infected with HIV, 
the elderly, former drug addicts, former prisoners, ex-
servicemen).
