  • 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.

  • Medium-Term Frameworks and the Budgetary Process in Latin America. A Database: 2003-2007
    Dataset

    By Department of Research and Chief Economist (VPS/RES/RES)
    Medium Term Fiscal Frameworks (MTFs) have become one of the most popular reforms to the budgetary process in Latin America during the last decade, and introducing MTFs seemed to be the magic solution for most fiscal ailments. Nonetheless, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of their impact. This document discusses the normative merits of using MTFs, provides a characterization of the different types of MTF, and describes their development in the Latin American region based on extensive field work. As a first approximation for understanding how they are working, this document explores in detail the cases of Argentina, Colombia and Peru. While an unambiguous diagnosis is not possible, this document lays the groundwork for progress toward comprehensive impact evaluations and, eventually, to the consolidation of MTFs in the region.
