2022 Benchmark Report: Living Wage Report for Rural and Small Towns of Coffee and Cocoa Growing Regions, Peru
Abstract
This report estimates the family living income and the living wage for the cacao- and coffee-growing regions of San Martín, Cajamarca, Junín and Cusco, Peru for May 2022. The monthly cost of a basic but decent life for a family of four was found to be PEN 2,371 for San Martín, PEN 2,146 for Cajamarca, PEN 2,101 for Junín, and PEN 2,359 for Cusco, while the monthly living wage for a full-time worker is PEN 1,853 for San Martín, PEN 1,678 for Cajamarca, PEN 1,643 for Junín, and PEN 1,844 for Cusco. Given the relatively small differences between regions, we recommend using the highest value for all coffee and cacao growing regions of Peru, i.e. a living income of PEN 2,371 and a living wage of PEN 1,853 for May/June 2022.
