MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico plans to promote job creation programs in the Caribbean that President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has rolled out in southern Mexico and parts of Central America to stem migration, a senior government official was quoted as saying on Monday.
The programs, "Sembrando Vida," (Sowing Life) a tree-planting drive, and "Jovenes Construyendo el Futuro," (Youths Building the Future) a work scheme for young adults, are part of Lopez Obrador's plan to slow migration by helping poor regions like southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador.
