INEI: El 47,7 % de las madres peruanas trabaja de forma independiente | RPP Noticias

The National Institute of Statistics and Informatics (INEI) reveals that most working mothers in Peru are self-employed or work in micro-enterprises, primarily in the service and commerce sectors. This highlights a labor market characterized by significant informality and small-scale business operations, which presents unique challenges for standardizing employment data and recognizing economic contributions. Educational attainment varies widely among this demographic, with many possessing only secondary or primary education, while a minority holds higher education. These disparities in qualifications likely influence employment stability and income levels, underscoring the need for open data initiatives that correlate educational outcomes with labor market integration to better understand social mobility and economic barriers. The relevance to open data lies in the necessity to make these granular socioeconomic statistics accessible and machine-readable. By analyzing patterns in employment types, education, and demographics, researchers can identify structural inequalities. This facilitates evidence-based policymaking and ensures that official statistics effectively capture the reality of women’s economic participation, promoting transparency and inclusive development.
