Focusing on early childhood is key to inclusive social development. Despite the progress of recent decades, especially through comprehensive early childhood development policies, children aged 0–8 years continue to be disproportionately affected by poverty. The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic deepened inequalities and had an often-unseen impact on this early stage of life. With a focus on maternal and child health, nutrition and education, this document is aimed at analysing the impact of the pandemic on early childhood development and on the design and implementation of policies; iden…

The expansion of non-contributory pension systems in the region has been one of the major milestones in the development of social protection architecture in a context of high levels of informal labour, rapid population ageing, and significant gaps and inequalities, including gender inequalities. Non-contributory pension systems have expanded substantially in the twenty-first century, approaching a coverage rate of 3 in 10 persons aged 65 years and over in Latin America and the Caribbean in 2022. Establishing non-contributory pension systems and strengthening those that already exist in the cou…
La expansión de los sistemas de pensiones no contributivos en la región constituye uno de los principales hitos en la construcción de las arquitecturas de la protección social en un contexto marcado por una alta informalidad laboral, un acelerado envejecimiento y amplias brechas y desigualdades, incluidas las desigualdades de género. En este siglo se observa un aumento sustantivo de la cobertura de los sistemas de pensiones no contributivos, que en 2022 llegaban a 3 de cada 10 personas de 65 años y más de América Latina y el Caribe. Crear sistemas de pensiones no contributivos y fortalecer los…
This article classifies goods according to their technical characteristics of rivalry and excludability, with the inclusion of new categories ranging from zero rivalry to infinite rivalry and from excludability to imposed access. The conceptual framework reveals concrete challenges in meeting the conditions of the first theorem of welfare economics, demonstrating that only private goods are the epitome of market theory, with an immense range of goods for which provision by means of free prices does not exist or is Pareto inefficient. A theoretical origin of externalities is proposed, as well a…
En este artículo se clasifican los bienes por sus características técnicas de rivalidad y exclusividad, pero con la inclusión de nuevas categorías que van desde rivalidad cero hasta rivalidad infinita y desde exclusión hasta obligado acceso. El marco conceptual permite ver problemas concretos para cumplir las condiciones del primer teorema de la economía del bienestar, demostrándose que el epítome de la teoría de mercado lo constituyen solo los bienes privados, con un inmenso espacio de bienes para los que la provisión por medio de precios libres no existe o es subóptima en el sentido de Paret…
