The process of preparing the population policy is a commitment assumed by the Peruvian State through international agreements and treaties of which it is a part. Based on these, the State, in order to apply an appropriate public population policy, must plan and execute public actions regarding the dynamics, structure, volume and distribution of the population over the national territory. In that sense, this policy occurs within a broader framework in favor of socio-economic development and not in isolation. In this study we reflect on the background of the Peruvian Population Policy, the current population policy law and the main elements of the National Population Plan 2010-2014 (the same one that is currently in force). In order to meet these objectives, we analyze the official documents of the Peruvian State regarding population. In summary, the main findings of this study show us the concern of the Peruvian State to develop a regulatory framework in terms of population policy; However, the main difficulty is observed in the compliance and implementation of said regulatory framework.
