Unemployment in Costa Rica fell to 18.5% in the moving quarter from December to February, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Census (Inec).
In context of International Women's Day, Costa Rican leaders on Monday signed a decree to create a commission to address the country's unemployment gap.
The Covid-19 pandemic caused massive damage to employment, and recovery in 2021 will be slow, uneven and uncertain if policy makers do not take appropriate action.
