📋 Tender Overview
In the framework of the Covid-19 pandemic and the high unemployment rates that especially affect women the Ministry of Labor and Employment Promotion MTPE published Resolution No. 227-2021-TR which creates a Multisectoral Working Group to design the Wiay Warmi articulated intervention and thus promote in the short term the generation of decent jobs for women. The multisectoral Working Group will be chaired by the MTPE and will have the participation of the PRODUCE MEF MIDAGRI MIMP MIDIS MINEDU MINCETUR and MINJUS sectors. The Technical Secretariat will be in charge of the General Directorate for the Promotion of Employment. Its functions include the approval of the work plan -with a territorial and rights-based approach- and the elaboration of the inter-sectorial articulated intervention proposal to promote the employment of women in the short term. The aforementioned working group will be valid for 45 business days. Why the creation of the Wiay Warmi Working GroupIts conformation arises from the increase in wage gaps and the lack of access to decent jobs during the pandemic. Also because the recovery of employment shows a noticeable lag for women. In the second semester of 2020 the activity rate for women was 39 and for men 59.1. In the first quarter of 2021 the activity rate for women partially recovered and reached 61 4.5 percentage points lower than that of the same period of 2019. It should be noted that women represent 50.25 of the working-age population so their active participation in the economy is highly relevant in addition to being of interest to public policy because paid employment gives women greater autonomy.
