Resumen
DURAND CARRION, Julio Baltazar. Academic Research on the Vulnerable Consumer: Parameters for its Necessary Institutionalization in the Peruvian Legal System. Prolegómenos [online]. 2024, vol.27, n.53, pp.65-85. Epub 06-Mayo-2024. ISSN 0121-182X. https://doi.org/10.18359/prole.6950.
In recent times, the category of the vulnerable consumer has been discussed in Latin America, which determines a strong humanistic and protective root regarding consumer protection; however, in Peru, this figure has not been clearly observed in theoretical and practical terms, despite various jurisprudential cases. In this sense, the main objective of this research is to determine the status quo of legislation regarding the vulnerable consumer in Peru, which allowed proposing and building the normative foundations for its legalization in our legal system. The justification is understood from a triple perspective: theoretical, as it allows proposing doctrinal schemes; practical, because its materialization involves a series of changes in management instruments by the administrative authority, as well as new business policies; and social significance, insofar as it allows recognizing and guaranteeing consumer protection rights. The research was of a qualitative nature, descriptive level, and prospective design, as it sought to conceptualize the vulnerable consumer and, at the same time, used instruments and techniques for data collection and processing that validated the research proposal from a social perspective.
