[en] The current situation of the elderly in Peru, a population showing continuous
growth, reflects the extension of the living conditions they experience during
their economically active periods to their elderly years. A significant portion of
this population faces a situation of unmet needs and difficulties sustaining themselves
economically, which limits their ability to retire from the labor market.
The traditional pension system covers one-fourth of the population aged 65 and
older, with even less coverage of those who live in rural areas and in the poorest
regions of Peru.
