More young Peruvians do not study nor work. An Instituto Integración report gathers Lorena Alcázar and Hugo Ñopo opinion
18% of young Peruvians between 15 and 29 years are Ninis, “neither work nor study,” according to a report undertook by Instituto Integración. Although it is a lower rate than other Latin America countries, Lorena Alcázar, senior researcher of GRADE, states: “The low percentage of Ninis in Peru is explained due to high rates of informality and underemployment. In many cases, young people work but in poor conditions.” Furthermore, as women represent two thirds of Ninis, Hugo Ñopo, senior researcher at GRADE adds: “Higher rates of teen pregnancies may explain Ninis growth over the last four years”.
