Labor informality and employment trends in Peru

Overview

Peru is experiencing significant structural challenges regarding labor informality and public management. In 2025, labor informality reached 69.8%, a figure more than 22 percentage points higher than the average of 15 Latin American countries analyzed by the International Labour Organization. Experts indicate that addressing this issue requires a focus on productivity rather than just regulatory simplification or inspections.

Recent data regarding employment trends shows that remote work is viewed favorably by Peruvian employees. Approximately 76.7% of respondents believe remote work helps them meet objectives more effectively, and 66.6% report an increase in overall productivity. However, challenges remain regarding mental disconnection, as only 45.3% of workers report being able to avoid thinking about work-related issues during off-hours.
