Perú: El 12,4 % de adolescentes estudian y realizan alguna actividad económica

Peruvian adolescents are increasingly prioritizing education, with most studying exclusively, although a notable segment balances academics with economic activities. This shift highlights evolving youth engagement in the labor market, raising important questions about work-life balance and educational equity in developing economies. At the same time, chronic health issues affect a significant portion of this demographic, with urban areas facing disproportionately higher rates. Despite the prevalence of these conditions, improved access to healthcare services suggests progress in public health infrastructure, although disparities between rural and urban populations remain a critical concern for policymakers. The report also reveals a substantial rise in internet adoption, primarily driven by mobile devices. This digital inclusion is highly relevant to open data, as it demonstrates growing connectivity among youth. It underscores the urgent need for transparent, accessible datasets to monitor how digital access impacts education, health outcomes, and future economic opportunities for this generation.
