This research identifies women in urban Peru who were at risk of losing their jobs in 2020 and characterizes them before they became unemployed. I use a penalized logit model, trained on the National Household Survey (ENAHO) panel from 2016 to 2019, to predict women's risk of job loss. The model's predictions are then validated against the 2020 data to check whether the predicted job losses actually occurred.
