The Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technology (CUTI) has been holding a series of meetings with the Government to promote the training of personnel for the sector and also to advance in the drafting of a bill on Teleworking.
It is estimated that in Uruguay some one hundred thousand people work remotely, a figure that will continue to grow, so the regulation of this modality has become one of the main concerns of the technology sector. To discuss this issue and the challenges it presents, in the central interview we received Álvaro Lamé, president of CUTI.
Teaching a student who lives in Colombia. Create a graphic design for a company in the United States. Doing a translation for a law firm located in Fray Bentos. Do the accounting for a firm in Tacuarembó. Everything can be done today from a house in Montevideo. This modality, known as teleworking, is growing exponentially and is beginning to need regulation.
Teleworkers make up 8% of the Uruguayan workforce. However, they are often in informality, since they do not have a regulatory framework for their activity, and in order to change that reality, the Uruguayan Chamber of Information Technology (CUTI) began to promote a draft law on telework.
This was one of the issues addressed yesterday at the meeting held by CUTI president Álvaro Lamé, Labor Minister Ernesto Murro and Undersecretary Nelson Loustanau, where a plan to train personnel for the sector was also discussed.
What is the profile of the Uruguayan teleworker? Why is it necessary to regulate this modality? What aspects will the bill that is beginning to be proposed address? To answer these questions, in the main interview of En Perspectivarecibimos the president of CUTI, Álvaro Lamé.
