Abstract

El presente estudio analiza la relación entre la pobreza de los hogares y los impactos de políticas activas de promoción del empleo en el Perú. En particular, analizamos el Programa de Capacitación Laboral Juvenil PROJOVEN, que, desde 1996, ha beneficiado directamente a cerca de 50.000 jóvenes pobres. La situación de pobreza de los beneficiarios de PROJOVEN es aproximada con un índice basado en 21 activos de los hogares. Tres resultados principales emergen. Primero, las desigualdades demográficas y socioeconómicas encontradas entre los beneficiarios y la población elegible se deben principalmente a decisiones individuales de los jóvenes antes que a decisiones administrativas del operador del programa. Segundo, se observa alta heterogeneidad en la distribución de impactos por cuantiles de ingresos y fuertes diferencias en la distribución de impactos entre varones y mujeres. Tercero, la heterogeneidad de los impactos no se explica por el nivel de pobreza de los beneficiarios. Los más pobres entre los pobres se benefician igual del programa que los menos pobres. Es la entidad que proporciona los servicios de capacitación (calidad) la que explica la heterogeneidad de los impactos.
