In the context of the global coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) is preparing a series of short publications with relevant policy recommendations for this period. This note includes several recommendations for the continued collection of information linked to national accounts, balance-of-payments and foreign trade statistics.

Tourism in the region has come to a temporary standstill, beginning in April 2020, as a result of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. This paralysis has not only hit Caribbean economies and employment hard, but also many local communities in Latin America. In this brief, the contribution of tourism to exports, gross domestic product (GDP) and employment is reviewed, together with the recent downturn in this activity in the region. An impact scenario shows that the slump in tourism may cause total GDP growth in the Caribbean and Latin America to fall by 8 percentage points and 1 percentage point, respectively, while total employment could potentially decline by 9 percentage points in the Caribbean and 2 percentage point in Latin America. As countries have taken measures to mitigate the impact of the crisis on tourism, recommendations are provided to step up the sector’s preparation for the economic recovery, while enhancing diversification as well as environmental and social sustainability.

Latin America and the Caribbean is highly dependent on imports of medical products, as less than 4% of these are sourced within the region itself. To date, more than 70 countries —including four of the region’s top five suppliers, of which the first is the United States— have restricted their medical exports in response to COVID-19. Export restrictions are hampering the supply of products essential for fighting the pandemic in the region. Latin America and the Caribbean should make it a strategic objective to strengthen its productive capabilities in the pharmaceutical and medical supplies and equipment industries, in order to gain a less vulnerable footing to face health crises in the future. This will require the combined efforts of the public sector, business and academia in a mission-oriented industrial policy framework. Several of the region’s countries have made worthwhile efforts in that direction, which must be sustained beyond the current pandemic.

Since the health emergency arising from the global COVID-19 pandemic, which has led most of the countries of the region to declare states of emergency, national statistical offices (NSOs) have had to interrupt abruptly the collection of primary information as part of many of their statistical operations, including household surveys. This note describes possible scenarios for the collection and analysis of household survey data and provides a set of recommendations regarding the capture, publication and dissemination of official statistics from those surveys, in the context of the international situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Everyone relies on care provided by other people during most of their life. Care work encompasses the production of goods and rendering of services that are essential for life, such as preparing food, providing physical and emotional support, transmitting knowledge and values, and tending on people to ensure their well-being. Care work highlights the interdependence between people who receive care and those who provide it (whether paid or unpaid), and that care should be understood as a right (to provide care, to be cared for, to not provide care and to care for oneself). The COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating the care crisis in Latin America and the Caribbean1

1 The cut-off date for the information used to prepare this report is 31 August 2020 Neglect, physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and harmful practices, such as child marriage and early unions, are ways in which the integrity and rights of children and adolescents (any person under the age of 18) are violated (UNICEF, 2015). It has been noted for decades that no country is immune to violence against children, that the different forms of violence can occur in the home, in schools, care or justice institutions, the community or in the digital environment (Pinheiro, 2006) and that 50% of the global population under 18 has been the victim of violence (WHO, 2020a), most of which tends to be perpetrated by family members or people close to them. Such violence affects children differently and may occur in contexts where additional risk factors give rise to other forms of violence. These include violations of the rights of children and adolescents in times of armed conflict (United Nations, 2013), trafficking in children and adolescents (UNODC, 2020) and child labour (ILO, 1999), all of which affects the physical, psychological and social integrity of children and adolescents and limits their possibilities for development.
