Miguel Jaramillo in Sudaca Perú: What is going on in the labour sector?

“What this bill does is make formal hiring more expensive. It will be more difficult for the most productive companies to hire more workers. There’s not much to look forward to in terms of productivity gains. The only beneficiaries of this code are workers who have a permanent contract and, particularly, unionized workers. [However] unionization in the private sector is very small. A very limited group of workers will be favored.”

Miguel Jaramillo, Senior Researcher at GRADE, spoke with Mávila Huertas from Sudaca Peru about the preliminary draft of the Labor Code.
