The impact of the health crisis caused by COVID-19 is dramatic and, according to data from the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), the region will see a 9.1% drop in gross domestic product (GDP) in 2020, which represents a ten-year regression in per capita income.
To analyze the economic, but also the political and health challenges of the crisis, UNESCO is convening an online roundtable discussion on 10 September (5 to 7:30 p.m. Paris time). The debate will focus on issues of public policy with a view to reducing social inequality, boosting employment, serving the most vulnerable, maintaining social cohesion and restoring health and welfare.
