According to the Citizen Innovation Index (CII) from UPC, 49% of connected Peruvians aged 18 to 45 claim to frequently implement their improvement ideas. In contrast, 34% do so only occasionally, while 14% almost never put their initiatives into practice.

The study also highlights that one in three citizens has ideas they have not been able to realize, indicating significant barriers to turning initiatives into effective outcomes. This reflects a high potential within the population that has yet to materialize.

The information comes from a survey conducted by Ipsos, which aims to better understand the challenges in implementing innovative ideas within Peruvian society.
