    Informalidad, empleo y productividad en el Perú
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento de Economía, 2010)
    Informality not only represents a very significant proportion of the workforce. Informal production units are also widespread as 90% of entrepreneurs of the production units identified with the household surveys are not registered. They absorb a significant proportion of the workforce but only represent less than one tenth of the national value added. The differences in average labor productivity between the formal and the informal sector are very large and, what is more worrying is that the revenue they generate is not much more than the equivalent of a minimum wage. In these circumstances it is highly unlikely that a reduction in direct costs to formalize will be sufficient to induce them to join the formal economy. Moreover the new law leaves out MSEs the vast majority of these production units.

    Transiciones laborales, reformas estructurales y vulnerabilidad laboral en el Perú (1998-2008)
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento de Economía, 2010)
    This study analyses the labor market dynamics in Peru through labor market transitions, specifically determining if the labor vulnerability – defined as the probability of losing a formal job and, in particular, getting an informal job – has been reduced. Not enough evidence was found to prove a reduction of the total vulnerability between 1998 and 2008. The multinomial probit model used, showed that the structural reforms of the nineties helped to reduce workers’ labor vulnerability, but with a reduced effect. Other control variables analyzed in this study, such as schooling or sex, showed to have more influence on labor vulnerability.

    Transiciones laborales, reformas estructurales y vulnerabilidad laboral en el Perú : 1998-2008
    (Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Fondo Editorial, 2010)
    En el informe de 2009, el Latinobarómetro publicó que, para los peruanos, el problema más importante es el desempleo (27%), por encima del promedio latinoamericano, que alcanza el 21%. Sin embargo, desde 2002, en el Perú se han observado, por un lado, cifras estables (y relativamente bajas) de desempleo; y por otro, acelerado crecimiento económico.
