More about the book
Focusing on the labor dynamics within thirteen major Peruvian textile factories, this sociological analysis examines how demographic factors like age, sex, and migration influence workforce mobility and stability. Notably, it reveals that the industry experiences lower labor turnover than expected for developing nations. Additionally, since 1955, women have increasingly been excluded from higher-paying jobs due to welfare regulations that raise their employment costs compared to men, highlighting significant gender disparities in the labor market.
