The Mexican Secretariat of Labor and Social Welfare (STPS) announced a suspension of new registrations and linkages for the ‘Jóvenes Construyendo el Futuro’ program during October 2026. This pause is described as a ‘focalization strategy’ to prioritize youth in regions with higher insecurity indices and social lag.

President Claudia Sheinbaum has since clarified that the program is not being canceled, but is instead pausing new registrations for the remainder of 2026 after achieving its annual enrollment goals. While new enrollments are suspended for October, November, and December, the program is expected to resume new registration periods in January 2027.

Existing participants will continue to receive their monthly stipend of 9,582.47 pesos and medical coverage through the Mexican Social Security Institute (IMSS). The program provides up to 12 months of labor training for individuals aged 18 to 29 who are not currently studying or employed.
