  • Building Stronger Transport Policy: An Evidence Gap Map - Dataset
    Dataset

    By Knowledge and Learning Division (VPS/VPS/KLD); Transport Division (VPS/INE/TSP)
    Efficient and reliable transport systems are central to economic growth, social inclusion, and environmental sustainability. In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), transport and logistics performance remains below that of advanced economies, constraining access to services, social inclusion (Scholl et al., 2021), competitiveness, and productivity (Calatayud & Montes, 2021). The EGM, available at https://developmentevidence.3ieimpact.org/egm/transportation-evidence-gap-map, presents global effectiveness evidence on transportation interventions, including roads, regional transportation and logistics; urban mobility infrastructure; and laws, regulations, and policies governing public transit, mobility, traffic, and transportation. Financed and co-produced by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the EGM compiles, curates, and classifies studies that estimate causal effects, displaying where evidence is clustered and where gaps remain. It aims to help decision-makers...

  • Social Indicators of Latin America and the Caribbean
    Dataset

    By Social Sector (VPS/SCL/SCL)
    Social Indicators of Latin America and the Caribbean is a diverse dataset of indicators designed to capture social conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean. The social indicators of development are derived from national household survey data, Censuses, and other sources, covering 21 countries from 1990 to the present. While the social indicators encompass traditional global metrics, the database also features tailor-made indicators in five areas to more accurately capture conditions in LAC. Those include: 1. Demographics 2. Education 3. Labor Market 4. Housing, and 5. Income Moreover, unlike traditional aggregate indicators, the social indicators are disaggregated by: - ethnicity and race (when available) - gender - geographic residence - education, and - income quintile. The indicators are not intended to serve as official data for any particular country but instead aim to provide a comparable set of social indicators for the Latin American region.
