  • Urban Integration and Coexistence Program: Baseline Report (Dataset) 2014
    Dataset

    By Housing and Urban Development Division (VPS/CSD/HUD)
    This report summarizes the housing and socioeconomic data collected through the Beneficiary Survey of the Neighborhood Improvement Programs conducted in 2014. The survey covered all households in the 11 neighborhoods of the Central District of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where the first phase of the Urban Integration and Coexistence Program (PICU) - HO-L1088 is planned for implementation. The analysis of descriptive characteristics highlights the main public service needs of these communities, as well as the overall condition of the neighborhoods. Additionally, the socioeconomic characterization of the households provides insights into the health, education, sociability, and intra-family relationships of their members. This information helps design targeted social policies addressing these specific areas in the neighborhoods.

  • Cost Simulation Tool for Long-Term Care Systems in Latin America and the Caribbean
    Dataset

    By Health, Nutrition and Population Division (VPS/SCL/HNP)
    The cost simulation tool for long-term care systems provides a way to quickly estimate how much it would cost governments in Latin America and the Caribbean to implement this type of system. It can also be used to compare different service packages and make projections. The dataset contains data on population, levels of care dependence, and other macroeconomic variables that are processed by formulas to allow users to quickly estimate how much it would cost a government to implement a long-term care system in 2020. Users can estimate the cost of up to two long-term care service packages and project costs for 2025 and 2030.

  • Departmental GDP Data and Regional Inequality Analysis in Peru (1795-2017)
    Dataset

    By Country Department Caribbean Group (VPC/CCB/CCB)
    In this study, we examine the regional income distribution in Peru from 1795 to 2017. To achieve this goal, we reconstructed long-term regional GDP and population series for Peru’s 24 departments. These series allowed us to analyze regional income inequality through dimensions such as inequality, modality, mobility, agglomeration, and convergence. The results indicate a persistent increase in regional inequality in Peru from the second half of the 19th century to the first half of the 20th century. The Gini coefficient, which measures regional inequality, shows a value of 0.2613 for 1795 and 0.3626 for 2017, with the highest value of 0.4283 recorded in 1934. The regional income distribution is bimodal, with no mobility between the extremes. For instance, the probability that a department poor in 1795 remains poor in 2017 is 94%, while the probability of a rich region remaining rich is 95%. However, significant mobility is observed among departments occupying the middle of the...

  • Data associated with: Overview of Aging and Dependency in Latin America and the Caribbean
    Dataset

    By Health, Nutrition and Population Division (VPS/SCL/HNP)
    This dataset was created to support the 2016 DIA (Related publication only available in Spanish). The accelerated aging process that countries in Latin America and the Caribbean are undergoing imposes unprecedented pressures on the long-term care sector. In this context, the growing demand for care from the elderly population occurs alongside a reduction in the availability of informal care. Governments in the region must prepare to address these pressures by supporting the provision of care services to alleviate social exclusion in old age. The Inter-American Development Bank has created an Observatory on Aging and Care — the focus of this policy brief — aimed at providing decision-makers with information to design policies based on available empirical evidence. In this initial phase, the Observatory seeks to document the demographic situation of countries in the region, the health of their elderly population, their limitations and dependency status, as well as their main...
