Miguel Jaramillo in RPP Noticias: “Everywhere you look at the quality of employment data, we are worse off than before the pandemic”.
“Employment relative to 2019 in Metropolitan Lima has grown 1%, but unemployment has grown 38%. If we look at proper employment, it has fallen 8% since before the pandemic. This drop particularly affects medium-sized companies. Everywhere you look at the quality of employment data, we are worse off than before the pandemic. If we look at data on formality, we would have to go back almost 10 years to find figures like the ones we have now”.
Our Senior Researcher Miguel Jaramillo was interviewed in RPP Noticias about the factors contributing to the increase in unemployment.
