Chronic poverty and disability in Latin America
Maternal mortality rates for Indigenous and Afro/Colombian groups in Colombia
High rates of maternal mortality continue to be one of the most important public-health issues in Colombia. In 2020 the total mortality rate for the country was 102 per 100,000 live newborns, one of the highest in Latin America. Indigenous and Afro-Colombian women present some of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country. However, there is limited evidence available for an analysis of how much maternal mortality varies between municipal…
Contribuciones de las organizaciones comunitarias a la promoción de la salud mental de niños, niñas, adolescentes y jóvenes en el Pacífico colombiano
This article examines the essential work carried out by community-based organizations in three municipalities of Colombia’s Pacific region marked by a history of conflict and political violence: Buenaventura, Quibdó, and Tumaco. The study focuses on understanding how these entities actively contribute to fostering the emotional well-being and mental health of children, adolescents, and youth, who represent a particularly vulnerable population wit…
The economics of climate-sensitive infectious diseases affecting human health in Latin America and the Caribbean
The incidence of climate-sensitive infectious diseases (CSIDs), such as dengue, chikungunya and Zika, has been rising in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Reported cases of these diseases nearly doubled between 2022 and 2023, with the highest figure reported from Brazil. However, evidence regarding the economic cost of CSIDs is limited in the region. This scoping review aims to identify the available evidence on the economic impacts of CSIDs…
Growing up amidst violence
To promote mental wellbeing, we identify the significance of safe spaces where young people are able to talk and connect to others and where trusted persons can connect young people to the wider exosystem of mental health care provision and to social, economic, peacebuilding and wider political processes
Bibliometric Analysis of the Evolution and Distribution of Research on Analytical Methods for Climate-Sensitive Infectious Diseases in Latin America and the Caribbean
Climate-Sensitive Infectious Diseases (CSIDs) are diseases whose prevalence and transmission are heavily influenced by climatic factors, posing a significant challenge to public health, particularly in vulnerable regions such as Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). This study employs a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the evolution and distribution of research on CSID and the analytical methods employed in the field. Using bibliometric and tex…
Changing levels of income and multidimensional poverty among persons with disabilities in Colombia
In Colombia, more than 4 per cent of the population lives with disability and high levels of income and multidimensional poverty have been recognised within this group. However, there is no information on how the levels of poverty have changed over time or whether households with members with disabilities are more likely to be chronically poorer than households without disabilities in the country. In addition, no evidence exists on the potential …
Multidimensional Measures and the Extra Costs of Disability
People with disabilities are more likely than individuals without disabilities to face higher levels of deprivation and multidimensional poverty, and those deprivations might be associated with the extra costs of living with a disability. However, there has not been an analysis of how multidimensional poverty measures are related to the extra costs of disability or whether these measures can be used as a proxy of the standard of living in the ana…
Social Capital and Lifestyle Impacts on Mental Health in University Students in Colombia
Introduction For young adults, the first year of higher education represents a transition period into adulthood associated with an increased risk of developing depression, anxiety, and stress, contributing to deteriorating physical and mental health. The present study aimed to analyze the relationship between depressive symptoms and social capital and lifestyles among Colombian university students. Methods In 2020, a longitudinal repeated measure…
Legislation on Disability and Employment
Although the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities guarantees the right to employment and most countries in Latin America have signed and ratified the Convention, a large proportion of the population with disabilities still does not participate in the labour market. (1) Objective: The objective of this research was to understand how legislation in seven Latin American countries (Bolivia, Costa Rica, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Mexic…
Exploring the potential for a new measure of socioeconomic deprivation status to monitor health inequality
The proposed SDS measure adds analytical possibilities to the health inequality monitoring literature, in line with ethically and conceptually well-founded notions of absolute, multidimensional disadvantage. In addition, it allows for breakdown by its dimensions and components, which may facilitate nuanced analyses of health inequality, its correlates, and determinants
Recolección de datos durante la pandemia por la Covid-19 y la inclusión de la población con discapacidad en América Latina y el Caribe
Objetivo. Identificar las encuestas que incluyeron preguntas sobre discapacidad durante la pandemia por la COVID-19, en el periodo 2020-2021; y a partir de esto, estudiar qué acciones han implementado los países de América Latina y el Caribe en aspectos educativos, de salud y protección social que han incluido explícitamente a la población con discapacidad. Métodos. Se revisaron los documentos de los Institutos Nacionales de Estadística de los pa…
Inequality in labour market opportunities for people with disabilities
In Latin America, approximately 70 million individuals live with a disability. Although global evidence suggests that people with disabilities are one of the poorest groups and present lower employment rates, the evidence for Latin America is still weak. This article aims to contribute to the literature by estimating and analysing the levels of employment opportunity for persons with disabilities in six countries in Latin America (Chile, Bolivia,…
Does disability increase the risk of poverty ‘in all its forms’? Comparing monetary and multidimensional poverty in Vietnam and Nepal
To meet the Sustainable Development Goals target of ending poverty “in all its forms”, it is critical to monitor progress towards poverty alleviation, including amongst people with disabilities. This research used data from a population-based nested case control studies (n=667) and compares monetary and multidimensional poverty levels amongst people with and without disabilities in the districts of Cam Le, Vietnam and Tanahun, Nepal. Overall, the…
Conceptual Debates on Poverty Measurement
Association Between Social Pensions With Depression, Social, and Health Behaviors Among Poor Older Individuals in Colombia
The absence of a measurable effect on depression and self-rated health may be explained, at least partly, by the program's comparatively small cash benefit and the sharing of resources with other family members. Policymakers should assess possibilities to maximize the health and social benefits of social pensions
How Poor Are People With Disabilities? Evidence Based on the Global Multidimensional Poverty Index
People with disabilities and their families have been recognized as a high-risk population for poverty. Although the number of studies analyzing the levels of poverty of this group has increased, there is still a lack of empirical evidence that establishes whether and how people with disabilities are significantly poorer than families with no disabled members. This study analyses the levels of multidimensional poverty of people living in househol…
Do the determinants of self-rated health vary among older people with disability, chronic diseases or both conditions in urban Colombia
Our study aimed to identify the main determinants of self-rated health for individuals aged 60 years or older in Bogotá, Colombia, and if those determinants vary between groups. Data was obtained from the Demographic Health Survey 2011 for Bogotá. Logistic regression models were estimated to identify the determinants of excellent/good self-rated health among people aged 60 years or older living in Bogotá. Moreover, a subgroup analysis was conduct…

Disability and social protection in Latin American countries
This article aims to compare and analyse the different models used to define and understand disability in the legislation on disability and social protection in five Latin American countries. Five countries with different structure and historical development of social protection systems were selected (Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica and Mexico) and a thematic analysis of 75 legal documents was conducted. The results demonstrate a contradictio…
Activating collective co-production of public services
Previous research has suggested that citizen co-production of public services is more likely when the actions involved are easy and can be carried out individually rather than in groups. This article explores whether this holds in local areas of England and Wales. It asks which people are most likely to engage in individual and collective co-production and how people can be influenced to extend their co-production efforts by participating in more…
