Igualdad de Oportunidades
The principle that all individuals should have equal chances in employment and education, free from arbitrary barriers.
Definition
The principle of 'igualdad de oportunidades' (equality of opportunities) is central to Ley N° 26772, ensuring that individuals are not disadvantaged in accessing employment or educational training due to characteristics unrelated to their qualifications or the inherent requirements of the role or program. It implies that selection processes must be based on merit and objective criteria, rather than on prohibited discriminatory grounds, thereby fostering a fair and equitable environment for all.
