Trade Liberalisation & Child Wellbeing: Potential impacts of the Peru-US Free Trade Agreement.
Eliana Villar and Paola Pereznieto with Nicola Jones
Following the lead of Latin American countries such as Mexico and Chile, Peru signed a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) with the United States in December 2005. While most economic analysis points towards overall benefits for Peru, there are concerns regarding potential adverse consequences. In order to derive maximum benefits with minimum losses, it is vital to identify appropriate mechanisms to support short-term losers – especially children from poor families – and to develop medium-term strategies to promote more equitable distribution of benefits. Young Lives (YL) –a longitudinal childhood poverty project being implemented in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam– is researching the mechanisms by which trade affects children. This work aims to fill an important lacuna in trade impact analyses. Findings are being used to identify possible policies and programmes that can better mitigate the negative impacts of trade liberalisation on poor families with children.
