Impacto del programa Lurawi Perú en el fortalecimiento socioeconómico: evidencia desde un distrito rural andino

Objective: The present study analyzed the impact of the Lurawi Peru program on the socioeconomic strengthening of beneficiary families in the district of Pancán, Junín region, during the year 2023. Methodology: A quantitative research study was conducted with a correlational level and a cross-sectional non-experimental design, with a census sample of 80 beneficiaries. Two structured five-point Likert questionnaires, validated through expert judgment, were applied, measuring the independent variable in five dimensions (program objectives, activities and support provided, target beneficiary population reached, economic investment made, and execution time) and the dependent variable in five dimensions (education, economic income, employment, housing, and family well-being). For the inferential analysis, an ordinal logistic regression model was employed under the proportional odds approach. Results: The model was statistically significant (χ² = 153.516; df = 26; p < 0.001), with a Nagelkerke Pseudo R² of 0.858, indicating a high explanatory capacity of the program on the levels of perceived socioeconomic strengthening. The dimensions of education and economic income recorded the highest explanatory values, followed by housing and family well-being; the employment dimension showed the most limited effect, although still significant. Conclusions: The Lurawi Peru program showed a positive and significant association with the socioeconomic improvement of beneficiary families in the studied context. The findings provided relevant empirical evidence for the evaluation of temporary employment programs in high Andean rural districts and for the design of public policies aimed at labor inclusion and vulnerability reduction. It was recommended to incorporate longitudinal designs and sustained employability strategies in future research.
