TL;DR

Medellín recorded a 6.7% unemployment rate for the August-October 2025 quarter, lower than other major Colombian cities and the national average for seven main cities.
The youth unemployment rate (ages 15-28) reached a historic low of 10.9% in the November 2024-January 2025 quarter.
Over 36,700 young people became employed in the first 10 months of the year, a 35.4% reduction compared to the previous year.
Public policies focused on youth employability, state subsidies like Estado Joven, and programs by the Mayor's and Governor's offices have contributed to this success.
The reduction in 'ninis' (youth not studying or working) is seen as a positive sign, with many potentially moving into formal employment or education.
Public-private alliances, such as the University-Company-State Committee (CUEE), have been crucial, with the private sector generating 97% of employment.
Initiatives like Empleo Fest offered over 10,000 formal job vacancies, and the Alliance for Employment of Women and Youth connected young people to sectors like tourism and digital industries.
Educational reforms, including the Estud-IA strategy, trained individuals in digital and audiovisual skills, including artificial intelligence, areas with growing demand.
The Public Employment Office facilitated connections to real job opportunities for 16,468 people and provided career guidance to 9,850.
