The advance of current societies in the incorporation at all levels of digital tools and the use of the Internet (which for many leads to call the contemporary era as the "digital era") has brought about relevant changes in the world of work and in the dynamics of the labor market in particular. The analysis of information on labor demand (labor, collaborators, staff, workers, etc.) in the technology sector is a very valuable input to improve the design of education and training essential to promote employment in Uruguay as a whole.
