Camilo Ferreira

Camilo Ferreira is a researcher at the Wiñaq Center in Peru, known for his work on ethnic self-identification and the implications of census classifications. He has emphasized the importance of accurately reflecting the diverse identities of Peruvians in national surveys, particularly in light of the 2025 National Census. Ferreira has noted that a significant 73.2% of Peruvians identify as mestizo, highlighting the complexities of identity in a multi-ethnic society. His recent commentary has raised concerns about proposed changes to census questions that might misrepresent the population's true ethnic makeup.
