"Over the last two decades in Latin America and in Peru the political, social context; but especially the economic, influenced the behavior of Labor Law and Social Security. Globalization and neoliberalism worldwide, hyperinflation, dictatorships and social violence in Latin America, particularly in Peru, substantially marked the labor reforms of the 90's. The later years were more favorable in political and economic matters; but in Peru we did not take advantage of this trend. We have started a new decade with an economic slowdown in Latin America compared to previous years and with a strange feeling in Peru that the past decade was a lost opportunity. Therefore, this is a crucial historical moment in which it is necessary to make additional efforts to improve and solve the problem of employment and social security."
