Resumen
Descripción
Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC)
were among the regions most affected by the Coronavirus
disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020 - despite being
home to only 8.5 percent of the world’s population, over 47
million people were infected by the virus by the end of
November 2021, representing almost 18 percent of global
cases, and the socioeconomic and human capital effects will
be felt for many years to come. While in 2021 the region
experimented an important economic recovery, with mobility
almost fully restored to pre-pandemic levels and a
remarkable progress in vaccination campaigns, positive
spillovers on households’ welfare have proved elusive in
some countries and for some segments of the population. In
an effort to continue monitoring how the COVID-19 pandemic
has affected the livelihoods of households in the region,
the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program
(UNDP) joined forces to implement a second phase of
high-frequency phone surveys (HFPS) in over 20 LAC countries
in 2021. A first wave (wave 1) was collected between May and
July, with a second (wave 2) following between October and
December 2021 to January 2022 for Peru. The HFPS phase II
adds 11 countries to those originally included in phase one.
In wave 2, a representative sample of minorities was
obtained in seven countries.
