Jaramillo, M. (2013). Employment growth and segmentation in Peru, 2001–2011: country case study on labour market segmentation (Employment Working Paper N° 151). Geneva: OIT.

This study aims to identify how the performance of the labour market, and labour market institutions and policies have affected labour market segmentation in the last decade. It also provides evidence on what labour market duality means in terms of job quality indicators. To do so, we use household survey data for the period 2001-2010 to analyse labour market trends as well as employment quantity and quality indicators. This information is disaggregated by demographic characteristics with the purpose of identifying which groups are more affected by different policies, trends or programmes. Job security is approached through a series of indicators, such as type of contract and length of the employment period. Finally, the effects of regulations on these indicators are considered.
