Impact of average wages on informal employment in Peru during the COVID-19 pandemicAbstract
El presente trabajo analiza la evolución y los determinantes de la informalidad laboral en el Perú entre 2019 y 2024, con énfasis en los efectos de la pandemia de COVID-19. Se estudia la relación entre el salario promedio real y la informalidad, bajo la hipótesis de que mayores ingresos reducen la probabilidad de migrar hacia empleos informales. El análisis sectorial revela que sectores como comercio, agricultura y servicios, con menores salarios, concentran mayor informalidad, mientras que minería, electricidad y servicios financieros presentan mayor estabilidad formal. Los resultados muestran que, pese a la recuperación económica parcial, la informalidad laboral se mantuvo por encima del 70 % de la población ocupada. Además, se evidencia que el salario mínimo tuvo un efecto limitado por su baja cobertura. Se concluye que la informalidad en el Perú es un fenómeno estructural que requiere políticas sectoriales y estrategias que eleven los ingresos reales para fomentar la formalizaciónThis research analyzes the evolution and determinants of labor informality in Peru between 2019 and 2024, with a focus on the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It examines the relationship between real average wages and informality, under the hypothesis that higher incomes reduce the likelihood of workers shifting to informal employment. The sectoral analysis reveals that sectors such as commerce, agriculture, and services—with lower average wages—concentrate higher levels of informality, while mining, electricity, and financial services show greater formal employment stability. The findings indicate that, despite a partial economic recovery, labor informality remained above 70% of the employed population. Furthermore, the minimum wage showed limited impact due to its low coverage. The study concludes that informality in Peru is a structural issue that demands sector-specific policies and strategies aimed at increasing real labor income to promote formalization.
