In order to do so, the author analyzes the definition of the gender wage gap statistical indicator, and the current state of the gender wage gap in Peru, as well as its causes.

Para ello, la autora analiza la definición y uso del indicador brecha salarial por género en sus diferentes vertientes, además del estado de la cuestión de este fenómeno en el Perú, así como sus causas. Luego de ella la autora aborda la promulgación de la Ley de Igualdad Salarial y su Reglamento de cara a la normativa internacional sobre igualdad salarial a fin de concluir que la promulgación de esta normativa se condice con la obligación del Estado peruano de adoptar medidas conducentes a superar situaciones de desigualdad de facto entre hombres y mujeres en el plano laboral. Finalmente, la autora reflexiona en torno a los retos que trae este marco normativo, el cual, si bien es un buen primer paso para eliminar la brecha salarial por género, debe ser complementado con medidas sociales destinadas a cuestionar los roles y estereotipos de género.Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú2019-08-03info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/iusetveritas/article/view/2249910.18800/iusetveritas.201902.015IUS ET VERITAS; Núm. 59 (2019); 240-2541995-2929reponame:Revistas - Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstname:Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perúinstacron:PUCPspahttp://revistas.pucp.edu.pe/index.php/iusetveritas/article/view/22499/21714http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:revistaspuc:article/224992020-09-15T05:00:50Z
