Costa Rica's five-year-old craft beer boom has boosted the nation's market in jobs, particularly for young people.

Some 60 percent of the jobs that have been created by the craft-beer sector are aged under 30, according to the association of craft breweries.

Employment statistics show that the nation's 42 craft breweries have generated 350 direct and 2,000 indirect jobs over the last five years.
