  • Tables and Figures for: Jobs For Growth
    Dataset

    By Social Protection and Labor Markets Division (VPS/SCL/SPL)
    Jobs are essential for the growth of individuals and countries alike. Achieving personal fulfillment is harder without a job, just as an economy as a whole cannot develop without the impetus of the labor market. These two perspectives unquestionably go hand in hand: from the individual perspective, finding a good job is a legitimate aspiration for anyone who wishes to support oneself and one's family; from the societal perspective, creating more and better jobs is essential to the achievement of lasting and equitable growth. Jobs for Growth rests on this dual vision.

The data corresponds to the publication: Urquidi et al. (2023). Labor market survey in Bolivia: Supply 2022 at http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0005374

    Dataset

    By Department of Research and Chief Economist (VPS/RES/RES)
    The IDB/Cornell Coronavirus Survey collects information related to labor market impacts, food security, social distancing, and knowledge of the Covid-19 pandemic through an online survey. The main modules of the questionnaire were standardized across countries to allow data to be pooled and cross-country comparisons to be made. The survey was launched in the first country on March 27, 2020, and most responses were collected during April 2020. Participants were recruited through social media using paid advertising campaigns. The data consists entirely of responses to an online survey and therefore does not collect information on the most vulnerable people, who are likely to lack access to the internet or social media. However, the survey contains information for people from different social strata and subnational regions. In this sense, the data are useful for analyzing different patterns by socioeconomic groups within a country and between countries. The data include weights to...
