Guyanas Minister of Labour, Manzoor Nadir has urged the member states of Caricom to start looking into ways of reintegrating deportees into society. Speaking at the fifteenth meeting of the Council for Human and Social Development, Minister Nadir said that many deportees are returned to the Caribbean with skills and knowledge that could benefit the region. The Minister pointed out that 40% of the regions youth were unskilled citizens and therefore Caricom states should look for other forms of employment. He urged Caricom leaders to set up the conditions which would allow deportees to contribute to the social and economic development of their countries when they are returned.
