    The series of documents includes general recommendations to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission in the tourism sector, as well as specific recommendations for different tourist subsectors and spaces (accommodations, restaurants, local transport, beaches, airports and ports). It also includes recommendations for managing prevention protocols and specific tools to minimize transmission. The series is derived from an evaluation-diagnosis exercise that determined the adequacy of the current biosafety protocols against COVID-19 in a set of tourism subsectors, identifying the main nodes of risk of contagion throughout the service provision process. The series is made up of 10 documents: Reading Guide, R01 General Recommendations, R02.1-R02.5 Specific Recommendations by Subsector (tourist accommodation, restaurants, local transport, beaches, ports and airports), R03 Recommendations for Managing Prevention Protocols, and E02.1-E02.2 Specific Tools to Minimize Transmission.

    Por Climate Change Solutions Division (VPS/CSD/CCS)
    Under the current IDBG Corporate Results Framework (CRF) 2020-2023 (https://crf.iadb.org/en), the IDB committed to reach 30% of the total amount approved (including all lending operations) of climate finance during this period. In 2020, the IDB Group - composed of the IDB, IDB Lab (formerly the Multilateral Investment Fund) and IDB Invest - approved US$3.9 billion in climate finance as per the MDB climate finance tracking methodology. This resource is aimed at development activities carried out by the public and private sectors that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus mitigate climate change, and/or that reduce vulnerability to climate change and contribute to an adaptation process. This amount represented 19.5% of the IDB Groups total approved amount for 2020. The IDB only climate finance in 2020 was 15%, equivalent to US$ 2 billion. If the COVID-19 related investments are excluded, the IDB climate finance reached 30%. Changes in demand from countries to respond to the...

    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.

    Por 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%...

    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.
