目前的冠状病毒大流行是一项史无前例的公共卫生挑战，正在对家庭造成毁灭性的经济影响。这项研究使用了来自拉丁美洲和加勒比地区17个国家的230,540名在线调查受访者的样本，显示出经济影响是巨大的和不平等的：45%的受访者报告说，家庭成员失去了工作，在拥有小企业的家庭中，59%的受访者报告说，家庭成员关闭了他们的企业。在疫情爆发前收入最低的家庭中，71%的家庭成员失去了工作，61%的家庭成员关闭了企业。粮食安全和健康的下降是不成比例的影响之一。这些发现提供了证据，表明当前的公共卫生危机将加剧经济不平等，并为大流行对发展中国家劳动力市场和福祉的影响提供了一些初步估计。
The current coronavirus pandemic is an unprecedented public health challenge that is having a devastating economic impact on households. Using a sample of 230,540 respondents to an online survey from 17 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, the study shows that the economic impacts are large and unequal: 45 percent of respondents report that a household member has lost their job and, among households owning small businesses, 59 percent of respondents report that a household member has closed their business. Among households with the lowest income prior to the pandemic, 71 percent report that a household member lost their job and 61 percent report that a household member has closed their business. Declines in food security and health are among the disproportionate impacts. The findings provide evidence that the current public health crisis will exacerbate economic inequality and provides some of the first estimates of the impact of the pandemic on the labor market and well-being in developing countries.
