Growth, Employment, and Poverty in Latin America
This book examines the links between economic growth, changing employment conditions, and the reduction of poverty in Latin America in the 2000s. Our analysis answers the following broad questions: Has economic growth resulted in gains in standards of living and reductions in poverty via improved labour market conditions in Latin America in the 2000s, and have these improvements halted or been reversed since the international crisis of 2008? How do the rate and character of economic growth, changes in the various employment and earnings indicators, and changes in poverty and inequality indicators relate to each other? Our contribution is an in-depth study of the multi-pronged growth-employme...
Effects of the Business Cycle on Social Indicators in Latin America and the Caribbean
After mediocre growth in 2018 of 0.7 percent. LAC is expected to perform only marginally better in 2019 (growth of 0.9 percent) followed by a much more solid growth of 2.1 percent in 2020. LAC will face both internal and external challenges during 2019. On the domestic front. the recession in Argentina; a slower than expected recovery in Brazil from the 2014-2015 recession, anemic growth in Mexico. and the continued deterioration of Venezuela. present the biggest challenges. On the external front. the sharp drop in net capital inflows to the region since early 2018 and the monetary policy normalization in the United States stand among the greatest perils. Furthermore, the recent increase in poverty in Brazil because of the recession points to the large effects that the business cycle may have on poverty. The core of this report argues that social indicators that are very sensitive to the business cycle may yield a highly misleading picture of permanent social gains in the region.
Recovering Growth
After its worst economic crisis in 100 years, Latin America and the Caribbean countries are emerging from the COVID†?19 pandemic. The need to recover dynamic, inclusive, and sustainable growth to redress both the legacy of the pandemic and long†?standing social needs has never been more acute. However, despite progress in some areas, the region is facing a weaker recovery than expected given the favorable international tailwinds and is likely return to the low growth rates of the 2010s. Moreover, growth could be further slowed by both internal and external factors: the emergence of a new variant of the virus, a rise in international interest rates to combat global inflation, and high lev...
La mentira como forma de gobierno
Durante poco más de cuatro años hemos asistido a un gobierno que se soporta en las mentiras, como consta con este asunto nodal y otros tantos que Pablo Majluf, coordinador de este número, pormenoriza a un lado de esta página. Al filo del cierre de la edición, es decir, durante los últimos días de febrero, en la Redacción de esta revista privó la preocupación, el enojo y la incertidumbre por el riesgo que, para México, representa la desaparición del Instituto Nacional Electoral (INE) y, con ello, el destazamiento de las reglas que rigen la competencia electoral. La posibilidad de que no ocurra esa involución democrática se halla en las resoluciones de la Suprema Co...

Más Bobbio y menos Schmitt, más despacio, pero juntos:
Hoy más personas habitan en países con regímenes democráticos en el mundo que hace cincuenta años, pero desde la segunda década del 2000 estamos asistiendo a una nueva fase de recesión de la democracia liberal a nivel global. Las democracias liberales están más acosadas por los populismos que por las autocracias, más por el declive en el funcionamiento pleno de sus atributos que por rupturas violentas de los “golpes de Estado” clásicos. No se usan balas para sustituir a las democracias, sino leyes para destruir al Estado de derecho. Los líderes populistas tienen mayor probabilidad de debilitar la democracia que de romperla; las pueden convertir en “iliberales”, pero encue...
