    This dataset is associated with the publication "Urban Integration and Coexistence Program: Results of the Pairing Strategy" (Related publication only available in Spanish). The report presents the results of a pilot program for comprehensive neighborhood improvement, focusing on indicators such as crime and security, women’s empowerment, optimism, household activities, and access to basic services. The pilot program served as the foundation for the development of the Urban Integration and Coexistence Program (PICU) and was implemented in two neighborhoods of the Central District of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The program did not achieve the expected outcomes regarding women’s empowerment. Treated women continue to request permission from their partners at a higher rate, and no significant impact was observed on decision-making. On a positive note, the program appears to have had a favorable effect on women’s decisions regarding the number of children to have. This suggests that women...

    This dataset includes data for an analysis of labor demand characteristics and workforce training needs in the metropolitan areas of La Paz-El Alto, Cochabamba, and Santa Cruz—large cities in Bolivia (Related publication only available in Spanish). This information is contrasted with a sample from intermediate and small cities in the country. Labor demand data for large cities comes from a survey of companies conducted in 2015 and 2016, while data for intermediate and small cities is derived from a survey conducted between 2016 and 2017. The document presents key findings on the productive characteristics of cities, company profiles, and workforce dynamics, including recruitment and selection processes, employee turnover, reasons for dismissals, training, demand for and valuation of skills, among other factors. Finally, it outlines policy implications for Bolivia’s labor market.

    The Better Jobs Index is a tool for comparative analysis of labor markets in Latin America. This index evaluates the state of employment in the region through two dimensions: quantity and quality, each comprising two indicators. The quantity dimension measures how many people wish to work (labor force participation) and how many are actually employed (employment rate). The quality dimension assesses how much of the work generated is registered in social security systems (formality) and how many workers earn wages sufficient to lift them above the poverty line (sufficient wages). Through the Better Jobs Index, the Inter-American Development Bank aims to provide countries with a new instrument to more effectively monitor employment conditions, facilitate cross-country comparisons, and promote policies that lead to more favorable employment conditions.

    Par Fiscal Management Division (VPS/IFD/FMM)
    The Equivalent Fiscal Pressure (EFP) for Latin America and the Caribbean for the period 1990-2018, calculated using the IDB-CIAT methodology, measures the total resources collected by the countries of the region. This includes mandatory contributions to private (actuarial) social security systems and non-tax revenues from natural resource exploitation activities. In 2018, the EFP reached 25.2% of GDP, an increase of 0.4% compared to 2017. The sustained increase is based on three fiscal pillars: the Value-Added Tax (VAT), the Income Tax System (ISR), and mandatory Social Security Contributions (SSC), both public and private. From 1990 to 2018, these pillars collectively grew as follows: VAT by 3.4 percentage points of GDP (87.0%), ISR by 2.7 points (77.5%), mandatory SSC by 1.6 points (59.5%), and non-tax revenue from natural resources by 0.7 points (317.5%). Over the most recent five-year period (2013-2018), EFP growth was limited to 1 percentage point of GDP, equivalent to a 4.1%...
