This edition of the Social Panorama of Latin America and the Caribbean, 2024 addresses the challenges of non-contributory social protection to advance towards inclusive social development in the region. Addressing the development crisis, the gaps in inclusive social development and the reconfiguring risk structure requires progress towards universal, comprehensive, sustainable and resilient social protection systems. Non-contributory social protection policies are essential in achieving the objectives and functions of social protection systems: income protection, access to social services and labour inclusion. One in three households in the lowest income quintile lacks access to social protection and programme amounts are often insufficient to overcome poverty. The region faces persistent gender inequality and a care crisis that will be exacerbated by accelerated ageing. Progress in poverty eradication requires comprehensive policies, as well as progress in establishing a standard of social investment in non-contributory social protection.

The 2014 edition of Social Panorama of Latin America presents ECLAC measurements for the analysis of income poverty, taking, as well, a multidimensional approach to poverty. Applying these two approaches to data for the countries of the region provides confirmation that despite the progress made over the past decade, structural poverty is still a feature of Latin American society. In order to contribute to a more comprehensive design of public policies aimed at overcoming poverty and socioeconomic inequality, this edition examines recent trends in social spending and sets out a deeper gap analysis focused on three areas: youth and development, gender inequality in the labour market and urban residential segregation.

The central theme of this edition of Social Panorama of Latin America is social inequality, seen as a fundamental challenge and obstacle to sustainable development. Some of the axes and aspects of social inequality are addressed, drawing attention to how they intersect with and reinforce one another. The different chapters will examine inequalities in the distribution of income (personal and functional) and property; inequalities over the course of the life cycle; time-use inequalities between men and women; and the situation of Afrodescendent populations as an example of ethnic and racial inequalities. Recent trends in the amount of public resources available to finance social policies capable of tackling poverty and inequality and of promoting inclusive social development are also analysed.

This edition of the Social Panorama of Latin America and the Caribbean addresses the challenges of labour inclusion as a key axis for inclusive social development. Despite a recovery in social indicators in 2022 (reduction of poverty and inequality, recovery of employment), the region faces a double trap of low growth and high levels of poverty and inequality. Labour inclusion is key to combating poverty, reducing informality and inequality and moving towards inclusive social development. Gender gaps in labour market inclusion are driven by the unequal distribution of the burden of care work, which is largely borne by women. In the case of migrants, overqualification and discrimination also affect their labour market inclusion. The efforts made by countries in terms of investment in labour policies, which on average amount to 0.34% of GDP, are insufficient. What is needed is a shift from labour market integration to labour market inclusion, guaranteeing access to quality employment, income above the minimum wage and access to social protection, particularly for women and young people.
