Evidence snapshot for Peru
Peru has made significant progress on gender representation in politics, with Law 31030's mandate for 50/50 parity and strict alternation on candidate lists raising women's share of Congress from 27.7% to 38.2% between 2016 and 2021. Rural broadband access has expanded substantially through Internet para Todos, which reached 3.1 million Peruvians in over 16,700 rural localities by end-2022. However, urban quality of life has declined across most measured dimensions, with Lima Cómo Vamos data showing air-quality satisfaction fell 6.5 percentage points between 2010–2019 and 87% of residents dissatisfied with citizen security. Land-titling reforms have modestly improved women's household decision-making, with joint spousal titling associated with a 15.5-point regression-adjusted increase in women's participation in household decisions in highland communities.
