description This study utilizes both factorial and cluster analysis techniques to lay out and categorize Peru's departments in decreasing order of development level. The findings show that the chief discrepancies arise in health-related variables. The demographic profile and industrialization indicators also figure prominently. The study confirms the hypothesis of the dual nature of Peruvian society and highlights the sharp differences between department groups according to level of industrialization and rural poverty. The more modern and industrialized Lima and Callao zone is contrasted with traditionally rural Andean region departments. On the premise that inter-regional equality should be one of the Peru's primary goals, it is a matter of urgency that economic policy incorporate fiscal and compensatory measures aimed at improving health standards and stimulating socio-economic development in file more depressed departments.

The study confirms the hypothesis of the dual nature of Peruvian society and highlights the sharp differences between department groups according to level of industrialization and rural poverty.

En el presente estudio se utiliza tanto el análisis factorial como el acumulatorio (cluster) para distribuir y clasificar, de mayor a menor desarrollo, los departamentos del Perú. Los resultados muestran que la principal fuente de disparidad entre los mismos son las variables vinculadas al estado de salud. El patrón demográfico e indicadores de industrialización juegan también un rol importante. Esta investigación confirma la hipótesis del carácter dual de la sociedad peruana y muestra las agudas diferencias que existen entre grupos de departamentos de acuerdo con su nivel de industrialización y pobreza rural. El grupo Lima y Callao, más moderno e industrializado, coexiste con los grupos de departamentos de la región andina, tradicionalmente rurales. Si se considera que en el Perú la igualdad interregional debe ser una de las más importantes metas nacionales, urge que la política económica incorpore medidas fiscales y compensatorias, destinadas a mejorar el estado de salud e inducir el desarrollo socioeconómico en los departamentos menos favorecidos. 1995-11-12 2022-03-17T18:47:54Z 2022-03-17T18:47:54Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/424 10.21678/apuntes.37.424 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/52755 spa https://revistas.up.edu.pe/index.php/apuntes/article/view/424/426 Derechos de autor 2017 Apuntes http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 application/pdf Universidad del Pacífico Apuntes.
