Business activity in Peru was affected since the opening of markets with free trade agreements, which has caused companies to increase their competitiveness focused on a global vision, a strategic plan and having collaborators whose competence index labor is of an excellent level. However, another of the external factors that influenced the changes and that will continue to influence, among others, is the technology focused on administrative processes and production and service lines. Which will motivate the reduction in demand for traditional jobs in new jobs of a strictly technological nature.
This research is supported by the growing technological advances and how these affect the employability and demand for jobs in Peru by 2030. In this sense, a systemic review of the main studies that support the importance of the technological preparation of the technical and specialized labor of the workforce in Peru. Likewise, it addresses the skills gaps generated by technological innovation in different demographic groups in the Peruvian labor market. Its objective is to identify disparities in job skills to improve employability and adaptation to the constantly evolving Peruvian labor market. The methodology used was based on the systematic review of relevant scientific literature, analyzing recent studies on the relationship between technological innovation and work skills in the Peruvian context. The results reveal the existence of a gap between labor demand and the training offered, as well as significant differences in the challenges faced by graduates in the labor market. In conclusion, this study highlights the need to adapt academic training to market demands and recommends future research to further reduce these gaps and promote labor equity in the Peruvian market.
