The objective of this work was to determine the impact generated by economic growth on employment in the Lambayeque Region, Peru, during the period 2001 to 2015. Using an econometric model with time series, we analyze the behavior of each of the variables and determine the type of relationship between them. By using the correlated descriptive method and the support of the EVIEWS program led to establishing its intercausality. It was concluded that Lambayeque's economic growth is unstained, being sensitive to external factors and has had a positive but weak impact on employment, with increasing participation of women in the labour market in recent years, influenced by improvements in the level of education and changes in the structure of labour demand.
