Item type:Publication, The gender wage gap and domestic violence against women: Evidence from Peru(Universidad de los Andes, Colombia, 2024-02-29)In Peru, 68% of women have reported being the victim of partner violence, at some point in their lives. However, very little is known about the economic determinants of domestic violence. The present study is intended to analyze the relationship between the gender wage gap and domestic violence in Peru. We understand that the gap is a characteristic of the market that places women at a disadvantage compared to men. Data from the National Household Survey enables the calcula-tion of this wage gap. This information, combined with the violence report from the Demographic and Health Survey, is used in the regression anal-yses. We find that wide wage gaps are associated with higher incidences of physical and emotional violence. This result also extends to women who are not gainfully employed. These women ben-efit from greater equality in the labor market that provides them with better potential inco-me, which would increase their bargaining power within the home. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, El lugar de la mujer: La segregación ocupacional horizontal por razón de género en el mercado laboral peruano(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2023-11-22)This essay delves into the persistent problem of occupational gender segregation in the labor market and its impact on equal opportunities. Despite the increase in female participation in the workforce in recent decades, labor inequalities remain a reality that poses significant challenges to achieving gender equity in the workplace. In the Peruvian context, a marked occupational segregation is evident: women predominate in sectors such as services and commerce, while men mostly occupy “masculinized” positions in the formal private sector. The methodology used combines an exhaustive review of the literature from economic and gender perspectives with the analysis of official statistics and scientific publications. The bibliographic review is carried out from a multidisciplinary approach, which combines economic and gender elements, allowing a comprehensive analysis of occupational segregation based on gender. The collection and processing of relevant quantitative information on occupational segregation in the Peruvian context provides a solid basis for understanding the current situation and trends in the Peruvian labor market in relation to gender segregation. In this way, it seeks to make visible the pre-existing dimensions that define the place of women in the Peruvian labor market. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Determinantes de la brecha salarial de la población migrante venezolana en Perú(College of the Northern Border, 2026-04-15)This study analyzes the determinants of wage differentials between Peruvians and Venezuelan migrants in Peru, with a particular focus on the labor conditions of migrant women. Using data from the National Household Survey (ENAHO) and the Survey of the Venezuelan Population Residing in Peru (ENPOVE) 2022, a Mincer-type wage equation is estimated, incorporating human capital variables, job characteristics, and sectoral controls. The results indicate that, in contrast to traditional human capital-related determinants, factors such as holding a formal contract and the productive sector of employment are more influential in explaining wage gaps. In sectors such as retail trade, hotels and restaurants, and personal services, education and work experience do not generate statistically significant returns for the Venezuelan population. Overall, the findings provide empirical evidence of labor market segmentation affecting migrants in Peru and highlight important implications for the design of inclusive labor market policies.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Career paths and university education: factors that determine the employment status of university graduates(Frontiers Media, 2025-01-01)Employment outcomes are more strongly associated with specific career paths than with academic performance. Despite expanding university access, significant gaps persist between the training received and labor market conditions. The objective was to identify and analyze the factors that influence the employment situation of university graduates. A quantitative explanatory approach was used, with a sample of 3,009 graduates. A structured survey was administered, and the data were analyzed using Logistic regression, Lasso regression, and Random Forest models. The results show that the variables with the greatest predictive power are the type of contract, time spent working, and income level. In contrast, academic variables such as GPA and theoretical or practical training showed little relevance. In comparison, employability is more associated with specific career paths than academic merits. The study reveals important findings for universities to strengthen applied training, encourage early entry into the workforce, and develop monitoring systems that allow them to adapt their educational offerings to the real demands of the professional environment. Understanding the factors that influence graduate employability is crucial to enhancing the significance of education and improving professional opportunities.1
