he promotion of sustainable jobs has been a core goal of PAGE Peru since joining the Partnership in 2014 — integrated into sustainable growth strategies at the national and regional level. The latest development — the ‘Conceptualisation of sustainable jobs in Peru’ report — aims to enable the measurement of sustainable jobs and the efforts to promote them in the country. The key report includes an outline of sectors with potential to generate sustainable jobs, with the goal of prioritizing their promotion. The report will also aid in Peru’s sustainable recovery process; the ILO estimates that the potential for sustainable job creation in Latin America is 15 million new jobs.
In Peru, progress in this direction could help reverse the situation of job losses caused by COVID-19 in the country, which has affected more than 2 million people by 2020. The report was presented in an event on 18 May 2021 to a group of 70 participants, including representatives from the Peruvian and Ecuadorian governments, international organizations and civil society. The report begins to fill a gap in the country for monitoring sustainable job growth — there has not yet been an official definition or quantification of existing and potential sustainable jobs in Peru to enable the monitoring and evaluation of efforts to promote sustainable jobs. The report is the starting point to establish a conceptual definition of sustainable jobs in Peru and eventually aid in the ability to properly measure and evaluate. Similarly, this will also enable the design of protocols that allow the Labor Innovation Laboratory, and the Labor Programmes of the MTPE to incorporate the sustainable approach in their services and design public policies and programs on sustainable recovery in order to foster a sustainable and inclusive recovery
