Although many web-based non-probabilistic surveys are the only source of data on gender and sexual diversity in many countries, there is little evidence of their accuracy in characterizing LGBTI people. This paper studies how precisely the experiences of LGBTI people are captured by web-based non-probabilistic surveys.

Investing in the first five years of life is essential for early childhood development (ECD) and contributes to increasing societal productivity, reducing poverty, and promoting equality. Socioeconomic and ethnic gaps in ECD levels are evident from an early age, and by the start of primary school, they are substantial and can exacerbate inequalities later in life. This document provides an overview of the Sector Framework Document, which presents actions that impact ECD levels, particularly among the most vulnerable groups, and therefore help close these gaps.

In Mexico, type 2 diabetes is one of the leading causes of death. However, for diabetic patients, receiving specialized care in a timely manner can be a challenge. Not only can the waiting time be a barrier, but also the expense of attending a specialized consultation. That is why, in Mexico City, a pilot telemedicine project was implemented with the objective of overcoming these barriers and improving the quality of care.
Behind the blue skies, sparkling seas, and rolling golden beaches of Trinidad and Tobago, the population faces a harsh reality: Chronic noncommunicable diseases (or NCDs), such as heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and lung disease, are affecting the health of individuals and negatively impacting families and communities.
This paper investigates the effects of alleviating remoteness constraints on access to quality maternal and newborn health care. Using a cluster-randomized controlled trial, we provided transportation vouchers to impoverished pregnant women residing in remote Nicaraguan villages located approximately five hours from the nearest health center, along with accommodations vouchers for maternal waiting homes. These vouchers were provided to the women and to companions of their choosing.
Over 30 percent of female workers are self-employed across Latin America, relying on this mode of work for subsistence. Self-employment in the region is regularly marked by the absence of health insurance and lack of pension benefits. Despite the aspirations of many women to gain access to these benefits, they are persistently overrepresented among the socially unprotected part of the workforce. To address this issue and explore potential solutions, we conducted a laboratory experiment in Bolivia to assess the efficacy of nudges to influence the behavior of self-employed women.
