Brechas de ingresos laborales en el Perú urbano: una exploración de la economía informal
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento de Economía, 2015)
Informality is a phenomenon widely present in the Peruvian economy, although with different nuances in it. In this paper we explore the labor market segmentation hypothesis, by decomposing wage gaps using a non-parametric technique introduced by Ñopo (2004). The results show that about 35% of the wage gaps between formal and informal workers cannot be explained by observable factors. These findings do not allow to refute the segmentation hypothesis. Nevertheless, total gaps have narrowed over the past decade. The group of independent workers shows opposed trends in relation to other categories.

Elementos para una cuenta satélite del trabajo no remunerado de los hogares en Perú
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú. Departamento de Economía, 2015)
Households’ unpaid work is an issue that has not received the attention it deserves in Peru. In fact, its importance to society has not been clarified yet and its magnitude is still unknown with precision. This document seeks to provide some conceptual and methodological elements for the development of a satellite account of households’ unpaid work in this country.
