Education is the main mechanism for achieving progress in multiple dimensions of social inclusion: greater equality of opportunity, skills for future social mobility, the formation of an active citizenry respectful of rights, familiarity with various cultural codes and access to the labour market with greater options.
In recent years, ECLAC has focused on analysing the role of education in social inclusion, by monitoring gaps, progress and challenges, and looking in particular at levels of schooling (primary and secondary).
One of the main challenges facing the region is continuing to improve …
The Social Development Division’s work on food and nutrition security is underpinned, first, by the principles set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948, which enshrines food as a fundamental right and calls upon States to ensure food and nutrition security and, second, by the need to address major inequalities in access to food despite its availability in the region, which severely curtail fulfilment of the right to food and prejudice the nutritional status of the population.
The Division’s work in this area has involved analysing the social, economic and cultural factors…
The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the Optional Protocol thereto, adopted on 13 December 2006 at the Headquarters of the United Nations, undoubtedly constituted a major landmark for persons with disabilities and has contributed to the mainstreaming of disability into the region’s political and social agenda.The Convention adopts a broad categorization of persons with disabilities and reaffirms that all persons with any type of disability must enjoy all human rights and fundamental freedoms. It has been ratified by 152 Member States of the United Nations. In the regio…
Social protection encompasses policies that are geared towards the exercise of economic, social and cultural rights and towards protecting against uncertainty and risk, on the basis that people’s present and future well-being are affected by, among other factors, illness, difficulties in meeting the care needs of children, persons with disabilities or some sort of fragility, episodes of unemployment or underemployment, and the loss or substantial reduction of income in old age. Without adequate policies, socioeconomic conditions can worsen inequalities, vulnerability and poverty.

With the aim of deepening understanding of development issues in the region, in 1952 ECLAC began establishing a network of national and subregional offices. The ECLAC office in Bogota was set up through an agreement with the Government of Colombia signed in November 1963.
With this step, ECLAC proposed to decentralize and add value to the implementation of economic studies on development, trade and integration and technical cooperation projects.
The ECLAC office in Bogota contributes to regular and ad hoc economic studies conducted by the Commission, disseminates its work and provides technica…

Inclusiveness – conceived as a productive insertion policy – is a requirement for financial systems to be conducive to sustainable social and economic development. In other words, it implies using the financial system as an instrument for expa…
