Little evidence exists on the causal impact of interventions on the reduction of xenophobia and the improved integration of migrants into host societies. Usually, governments and NGOs use visual communication campaigns to promote a harmonized absorption of migrants into society. Governments in the region are in dire need of implementing this type of interventions to set off a flow of the potential benefits of migration. The book will describe the results from survey experiments, aimed to assess the effectiveness of different types of campaigns in each country.

In the wake of the global turmoil unleashed by COVID-19, Latin America and the Caribbean faces a glaring gap in understanding the impact of the pandemic on pension systems. Through a collaboration between research centers across the region and the Inter-American Development Bank, this book aims to fill that gap. Case studies focusing on Argentina, Chile, El Salvador, and Peru explore the pandemic's impact on pensioners' well-being and benefit accumulation, highlighting the resilience of pension systems in the face of adversity and the critical role of public policies in shaping their fate.

Economic research on sexual minority individuals in developing countries has been constrained by the scarcity of nationally representative surveys asking about sexual orientation. This paper merges and harmonizes census data from eight Latin American countries to document socio-economic disparities between different-sex and same-sex couples.

We find ourselves in a fortunate yet challenging situation: we have access to more beneficial health technologies than we can afford to finance. However, this increased availability, coupled with an ageing population and epidemiological changes, is straining health spending worldwide. To ensure that higher spending actually maximizes benefits, it is crucial for this growth to be sustainable, to not divert resources from other important investments and to be in line with the goals of the health system.

This paper studies socio-economic disparities in Mexico based on sexual orientation and gender identity using data from a nationally representative survey collected in 2021. It finds pronounced levels of self-reported discrimination and workplace rejection experienced by LGBTQ individuals. It also reports different rates of labor force participation and unemployment compared to heterosexual and cisgender counterparts. Additionally, heterogeneity analysis provides new insights into nuanced disparities within LGBTQ groups.
