In recent years, the burden of chronic diseases or non-communicable diseases has increased in the world, mainly in Latin America and the Caribbean. This research aims to study and demonstrate the interrelationship of these diseases and work productivity. Peru has been taken as a country under study due to the increasing number of cases of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. Poor health is considered an indirect cost on the labor market, so the objective is to find this relationship. To estimate the connection between these two variables, the Propensity Score Matching (PSM) model has been used and the National Household Survey for the year 2022 is used as a data source. Labor productivity has been measured by the absenteeism rate as It is recommended by the literature and also because the data available in the country allows the construction of this rate. The main conclusion of this research is that there is a positive relationship between the rate of absenteeism at work and the presence of chronic diseases, this means that there is a loss of work productivity, which is why health institutions should be concerned to mitigate this cost in the labor market.
