Part II: The VISION The Bolivian economy must be transformed from being a provider of raw natural resources to being a diversified, mixed (public and private) economy that satisfies the basic necessities of the population in a non-discriminatory manner, while producing a surplus of value-added products that are demanded in the international marketplace, with an overall net gain in national wealth. The benefits generated by this economy should be distributed in such a way so as to reduce social inequalities at the same time as fomenting investment and growth. Forms of capital ownership should be diversified (individual, societal, cooperative and participative). This diversified economy should provide dignified, productive work in formal, private and public employment; in urban self- and family-based employment; and in the form of diversified, sustainable rural livelihoods; while upholding the principles of solidarity and cultural diversity, and contributing to the financial security and personal fulfillment of female and male workers and their families throughout the different stages of their lives.
Due to the sheer number of informal workers in Bolivia, it is imperative that these women and men not only benefit from such an economic transformation, but that they act as the protagonists and catalysts of it.
