The impact of the COVID-19 crisis, and its emergency response programmes, on poverty and inequality in Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras
Jueves, 02 de septiembre del 2021
The present study focuses on the estimated impacts of COVID-19 on poverty and inequality in Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador. Using a microsimulation approach, the paper explored the distributional impact of the health crisis on income losses, as well as how efficient emergency response programs were in the three countries. We hope that this joint publication by Southern Voice, FUSADES, and the Commitment to Equity Institute (CEQI) will be useful in crafting appropriate responses to confront the medium to-long-term challenges presented by the pandemic.
