The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has severe health effects and serious implications for economic growth and social development. It has arrived in Latin America and the Caribbean in a context of low growth —as analysed in the previous special reports on the subject— and, above all, of marked inequality and vulnerability, with growing poverty and extreme poverty, weakening of social cohesion and expressions of social discontent. Quarantines and physical distancing measures, which are needed to stop the rapid spread of the coronavirus and save lives, are leading to job losses (11.6 million more unemployed in 2020, compared to 2019) and reducing personal and household labour income. The loss of income is primarily affecting the broad strata of the population that are living in or vulnerable to poverty, and people working in activities that are more exposed to layoffs and pay cuts and, in general, those in precarious employment. In view of the major persistent gaps that the pandemic has widened, ECLAC reiterates that it is time to implement universal, redistributive and solidarity-based policies with a rights-based approach, to ensure that no one is left behind. A. Poverty, extreme poverty and inequality will increase in all countries of the region .-- B. Groups particularly vulnerable to the socioeconomic crisis .-- C. Emergency measures and strengthening of existing social protection measures .-- D. A basic income to meet needs and support consumption .-- E. The challenge is to strengthen the welfare State to avoid another lost decade. 2020-05-14T22:06:59Z 2020-05-14T22:06:59Z 2020-05-14 Texto Documento Completo https://hdl.handle.net/11362/45544 en Informe Especial COVID-19 3 .pdf 21 páginas. application/pdf AMERICA LATINA Y EL CARIBE LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN ECLAC
