Panorama Social da América Latina 2014. Síntese

Nesta edição de 2014 do Panorama Social da América Latina se apresentam as medições realizadas pela CEPAL da pobreza por renda e se analisa a pobreza a partir de uma ótica multidimensional. A aplicação destes dois enfoques aos dados sobre os países da região permite reforçar a ideia de que, para além dos avanços alcançados na última década, a pobreza persiste como um fenômeno estrutural que caracteriza a sociedade latino-americana. Com o objeto de contribuir a uma formulação mais abrangente das políticas públicas para superar a pobreza e a desigualdade socioeconômica, ademais de examinar as tendências recentes do gasto social, o documento se aprofunda na análise de brechas em três âmbitos: juventude e desenvolvimento, desigualdade de gênero no mercado de trabalho e segregação residencial urbana.

为平等的结构改变 综合发展

In today's complex and changing global context, the Latin American and Caribbean region must persevere, more than ever, in three directions: structural change to underpin progress towards more knowledge-intensive sectors, convergence to reduce internal and external gaps in income and productivity, and equality of rights. This is the integrated approach proposed by ECLAC as a route towards the development the region needs. This implies tackling three major challenges: to achieve high and sustained rates of growth so as to close structural gaps and generate quality jobs; to change consumption and production patterns in the context of a genuine technological revolution with environmental sustainability; and to guarantee equality on the basis of greater convergence in the production structure, with universal social protection and capacity-building. Such an endeavour requires the return of politics and of the State's role in promoting investment and growth, redistribution and regulation with a view to structural change for equality, through industrial, macroeconomic, social and labour policies. These are some of the key proposals of Structural Change for Equality: An Integrated Approach to Development, which ECLAC will present to its member States at the thirty-fourth session of the Commission (San Salvador, August 2012). The proposals in that document, which is summarized here, deepen and broaden the ideas set forth in Time for equality: closing gaps, opening trails, aiming towards sustainable development with equality and taking into account the diverse national conditions across the region.

Social Panorama of Latin America 2015. Briefing paper

The 2015 edition of Social Panorama of Latin America analyses poverty trends, as measured by ECLAC. It also examines changes in income distribution and in other aspects of inequality. With a view to contributing to the development of public policies to overcome poverty and socioeconomic inequality, this edition examines the latest trends in social spending and the challenges posed by demographic change, and provides in-depth analysis of persistent gaps in the labour market, of the challenges facing policies and programmes that foster inclusion in the labour market and production, and of social development institutions in Latin America.

Panorama Social de América Latina 2015

En esta edición de 2015 del Panorama Social de América Latina se analizan las tendencias de la pobreza según las mediciones propias de la CEPAL. Asimismo, se revisan los cambios registrados en la distribución del ingreso y en algunas otras dimensiones de la desigualdad. Con el objeto de contribuir al avance de las políticas públicas para superar la pobreza y la desigualdad socioeconómica, además de examinarse las últimas tendencias del gasto social y los desafíos que presenta la transición demográfica, se profundiza el análisis de las persistentes brechas que se manifiestan en el mercado laboral, de los desafíos en materia de políticas y programas de inclusión laboral y productiva, y de la institucionalidad para el desarrollo social en América Latina.
