Abstract
The GeoLAC repository contains three
maps of the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) region
that aim to inform policy (governments and the World Bank)
around the Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) crisis. These maps
present three new vulnerability indices that tackle the
following topics: (1) expected employment losses in local
labor markets; (2) structural socioeconomic vulnerabilities
at subnational levels to various forms of shocks (economic,
health, etc.); and (3) socioeconomic vulnerabilities at
subnational levels specific to the COVID-19 crisis.
