Labor productivity and logistical competitiveness of the peruvian economy in relation to other countries in the region (2010-2022)

Abstract

The objective of this study was to verify the evolution of labor productivity and logistics competitiveness in the Peruvian economy compared to other countries in the region during the period from 2010 to 2022. The aim was to examine the factors that have influenced productive and competitive performance and identify strengths and areas for improvement in relation to the region. The research methodology used was quantitative and non-experimental, adopting a longitudinal approach covering the years 2010 to 2022. The population considered in the study was the macroeconomic indicators of both Peru and Latin America and the Caribbean. By analyzing these indicators, it was possible to evaluate the labor productivity and logistics competitiveness of Peru compared to the region. Various techniques, such as ANOVA, were applied to examine the significance of observed changes in the different factors analyzed. The results obtained revealed that Peru has made significant progress in terms of labor productivity and logistics competitiveness during the analyzed period. The country has slightly exceeded the regional average in several aspects, such as infrastructure quality and efficiency in customs clearance. It has also excelled in coordinating shipments at competitive prices. However, areas for improvement were also identified, such as ease of locating and tracking shipments. Although Peru has achieved greater punctuality in the frequency of shipments arriving at the recipient, there is a recognized need to strengthen tracking and locating systems. In summary, this study provides an overview of the evolution of labor productivity and logistics competitiveness in Peru compared to other countries in the region. The results highlight the achievements made by the country but also emphasize areas that require attention and continuous improvement. These findings can be useful for the formulation of policies and strategies that further drive economic development and competitiveness of Peru in the regional context.
