December 1999, there were 31533 units, which the 10% are young people between
15 and 19 years old. The problems which involve the young people are also
the causes of the social and cultural underdeveloped of that area:
-

old, are the 24,2%, while graduates are only the 2%;

lot’s of this young people interrupts studies in the primary school
(at 14 years old are 5,3% and at 15Years the 4,7%);

the 10,4% of them repeat the same class twice;
-
most of them don’t even start the secondary school;
-
there are no qualified people for the work market demand; there is
a 17,1% of dole: the artisan firms employee 1281 workers, which is the
4,1% of the population. From a recent statistics is emerged that at the
first three months of the year 1996,the unemployed young people were the
