    This paper presents new data documenting the level and evolution of public spending on non-contributory programs for 16 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Salaried formal workers contribute to social security and in return have access to an array of benefits -mainly old-age pensions and health services. In recent decades, informal workers – salaried and non-salaried- have gained access to similar benefits, financed through general revenues. Our calculations indicate that, on average, the region spends 1.7% of GDP in these programs. Although they were created in response to social demands, by targeting informal workers these programs may create a behavioral response -i.e. more informality. This paper does not attempt to measure behavioral effects. Its main contribution is to be the first to document this “subsidy to informality” following a common methodology across countries and years in the region.

    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.

    Por Climate Change Solutions Division (VPS/CSD/CCS)
    At the IDB Groups Annual Meeting in 2016, the Board of Governors endorsed the goal to increase finance of climate change-related projects in the Latin American and Caribbean region to 30% of the IDBs and IICs combined total approvals by 2020, subject to demand from borrowing member countries and clients, and access to external sources of concessional finance. During 2019, the IDB Group - composed of the IDB, IDB Lab (formerly the Multilateral Investment Fund) and IDB Invest - approved approximately US$5 billion in climate finance, that is, for development activities carried out by the public and private sectors that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus mitigate climate change, and/or that reduce vulnerability to climate change and contribute to an adaptation process. This amount represented 29% of the IDB Groups total approved amount for 2019.

    With the aim of contributing to the design of evidence-based public health policies in Latin America and the Caribbean and giving special consideration to patient or health service user perspectives, between 2012 and 2014 the Inter-American Development Bank carried out the Primary Care Access, Experience and Coordination Survey in Latin America and the Caribbean, in adult populations in Colombia, Mexico, Brazil, El Salvador, Panama and Jamaica. More detail about the motivations, conceptual framework, and detailed methodology of the survey can be found the publication “Desde el paciente: Experiencias de la atención primaria de salud en América Latina y el Caribe” (in Spanish). Primary Healthcare Access, Experience, and Coordination in Latin America and the Caribbean is a dataset of 9,012 observations, that merges the three waves of data collection in the survey, conducted between 2012 and 2014 in: Colombia and Mexico; Brazil and El Salvador; and Panama and Jamaica.
