Item type:Publication, Life courses of out-of-school adolescents. Neoliberalism, vulnerabilities and violation of the right to education in Peru(Palgrave Macmillan, 2021-01-01)In Peru, secondary education still has important deficiencies; a high proportion of adolescents leave the school system early and do not reach the minimum school capital and skills required to permanently escape poverty conditions during their active life. Privatization and segmentation of education since the implementation of the 1990s neoliberal policies have weakened the public education system and the quality of its service, making it impossible to ensure the right to education of all children in the country. Based on a biographical approach, this chapter presents the different combinations of vulnerabilities that determine school dropout of adolescents of both sexes in Peru. After an analysis of empirical data and the political context in the field of education since the 1990s, I build a typology based on the main associations of vulnerabilities observed from adolescents’ life stories, thus illustrating the violation of their right to education. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Persistence, retention, and interruption in higher education among Peruvian scholarship students in a context of emergency remote learning(Arizona State University, 2024-08-27)In Latin America, higher education inequality disproportionately affects individuals from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and Peru is no exception. Since 2012, the National Scholarship and Student Loan Programme (PRONABEC) has disbursed grants, aiming to enhance access to higher education for impoverished Peruvian young people. However, the unprecedented global health crisis in 2020 significantly affected the university experiences of scholarship recipients, introducing new challenges to their experience of higher education. This study, conducted in 2021, explores the factors influencing the persistence, retention and interruption of university studies among scholarship recipients. This qualitative, biographical study, based on the ecological model of higher education, involved 60 current and former scholarship students from public and private universities in three regions. Findings reveal that scholarships played a financial crucial role in supporting educational goals and institutional supports were pivotal in maintaining student retention. While personal motivation and family support contributed to student persistence overall, certain scholarship recipients faced challenges related to work and family demands. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Reconciling Emotional Caregiving and Self-Fulfilment: Peruvian Migrants in Switzerland Supporting Parents in Peru(Wiley, 2023-02-11)This article explores filial transnational caregiving from a subjective and emotional perspective. It analyses the relationship between pursuit of personal fulfilment and concern for parental well‐being among Peruvian migrants in Switzerland whose parents remain in Peru. Based on in‐depth interviews, we analyse the importance assigned to personal goals, the resignification of filial obligations, and how migrants reconcile the desire to be a ‘good’ son or daughter with the desire for self‐fulfilment. This process, strongly shaped by gender and social class, involves the negotiation of distinct principles of autonomy and filial obligation prevailing in the country of origin and destination. Turning our attention to less explored emotions, such as pride and a sense of fulfilment, we show how to deal with principles that may be in tension, migrant children construe the pursuit of self‐fulfilment and the desire to accomplish family responsibilities as interdependent dynamics in the context of filial transnational caregiving. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Different Trajectories from a Common Crisis: Survival Migrations and Resilience of Venezuelan Adolescents to Peru(SAGE Publishing, 2023-11-07)This article examines the biography of adolescents who emigrated from Venezuela with family members due to economic hardship. It aims to highlight how a common crisis produces a variety of experiences, but that resilience is a central aspect of all life courses. It analyzes the stages of the adolescents’ migratory trajectory: their departure, journey, and settlement in Peru. The results show that the crisis homogenises the living conditions and produces a heterogeneity of migration experiences in which resilience is ever-present. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Reconfigurations of the transition to adulthood amongst first-generation students in contexts of crisis: the Peruvian experience(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)This article examines how first-generation students (FGS) in Peru experience the transition to adulthood within the university context. Through a biographical approach based on 60 interviews with scholarship recipients across three regions of the country (Coast, Highlands and Amazon), the study analyses the particular configuration of life stages that emerges when the university experience unfolds in contexts of precarity. The findings reveal that, far from representing a period of social moratorium, university constitutes for FGS an 'intermediate age' characterised by constant tension between aspirations for autonomy and family responsibilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has made these tensions more visible and acute, evidencing both specific vulnerabilities and notable adaptive capacities. The analysis also shows how gender structures these experiences: while women face greater demands for family care, men experience more pressure to contribute economically. These findings invite us to rethink traditional conceptions of youth and adulthood, revealing how life transitions are reconfigured in contexts where the pursuit of social mobility through higher education coexists with persistent inequalities.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Navigating Crisis: Violence, Mobility, and Gendered Experiences of Unaccompanied Venezuelan Adolescents(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)This study examines the experiences of 14 unaccompanied Venezuelan adolescents (aged 15-19) migrating to Peru, using life course theory and biographical analysis. The research reveals three distinct groups: emancipated boys migrating for work, girls joining partners, and girls victimized by trafficking. Findings highlight gendered dimensions characterized by childhood violence, early emancipation, and mismatched institutional care. The study demonstrates how personal autonomy, peer networks, and family dynamics shape migration trajectories, challenging conventional life stage progressions. It contributes to migration theory by revealing the complex interplay between individual agency, family circumstances, and socio-economic factors in adolescent migration.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Education and Fertility Transition in Peru: A Cohort Analysis of Women Born between 1936 and 1984(Springer Nature, 2025-12-01)This paper examines the fertility transition in Peru, focusing on the cohorts of women born between 1936 and 1984 according to their educational level. Using data from the Demographic and Family Health Surveys (1986–2022), the study analyses completed fertility, birth order distribution, and median ages of key reproductive events. The results reveal a close relationship between educational level and fertility patterns, with persistent differences between educational groups. The completed fertility cohort decreased from 5.59 to 3.23 children per woman between the oldest and most recent cohorts, with more pronounced reductions in lower education groups. However, gaps between educational groups persist, aligning with Bongaarts’ “permanent differences” model. A general trend towards smaller family sizes is observed across all educational levels, but with substantial variations. Women with higher education show a pattern of later onset of reproductive life and greater fertility control. Although educational expansion has played a central role in Peru’s fertility transition, it has led to only partial convergence in reproductive patterns. These findings have important implications for public policies, indicating that effective interventions must address not only educational access but also the broader socioeconomic inequalities and cultural factors shaping reproductive decisions. Policies that combine educational expansion with improved reproductive health services, economic opportunities for women, and efforts to transform traditional gender norms would be most effective in addressing persistent fertility differences.6
