Abstract
San Juan de Lurigancho es uno de los distritos más representativos del Perú, no solo
por ser el más poblado del país, sino por ser producto de la convergencia de una gran
diversidad de idiosincrasias y procedencias, surgidas a raíz de los procesos migratorios desde
inicios de la colonia hasta la explosión demográfica en la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Es en
este contexto que el Índice de Progreso Social (IPS) es de vital importancia pues ayuda a
caracterizar y develar la calidad de vida de los más de un millón de personas que habitan el
distrito, más allá de indicadores estrictamente económicos; permitiendo identificar las brechas
de progreso social, en términos de necesidades humanas básicas, fundamentos de bienestar y
oportunidades para todos los ciudadanos. En consecuencia, la presente investigación tuvo
como propósito calcular el modelo del IPS del distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho, partiendo
de su división en cuatro zonas geográficas y recolectando información tanto de fuentes
primarias como secundarias; con el fin de establecer el nivel de progreso social de cada una
de ellas, teniendo en cuenta las dimensiones, componentes e indicadores establecidos por la
metodología.
Así pues el distrito de San Juan de Lurigancho alcanzó un IPS de 53.40, que lo
situaron en la categoría baja; a nivel de dimensiones, tanto fundamentos de bienestar como
oportunidades se ubicaron en la categoría baja; y a nivel de componentes las mayores
oportunidades de mejora se mostraron en: seguridad personal, sostenibilidad ambiental y el
acceso a la educación superior; además se estableció que las zonas más críticas son la tres y
cuatro con un nivel de progreso social muy bajo y bajo, respectivamente. Estos resultados
mostraron una realidad que requiere de atención inmediata por parte de las autoridades y
actores sociales involucrados; para ello, se formularon recomendaciones que tienen como
finalidad actuar como fuente para implementar las iniciativas necesarias a través de las
entidades competentes, que permitan potenciar la merecida calidad de vida de sus habitantes.
