dc.description.abstractSocial Protection and Labor (SPL) Systems help individuals and societies manage risk and volatility and protect them from poverty through instruments that address the challenges of resilience, equity and opportunity. SPL systems include social safety nets, social insurance, and labor market programs. As recent events have shown, the relative emphasis among goals – resilience, equity and opportunity - can change over time, with demands put on SPL program design and delivery systems differing in each context. In relatively stable times, programs are likely to focus on human capital formation, equality of opportunity, poverty reduction, and redistribution. This was the case in Central America prior to the COVID-19 emergency, albeit with some shortcomings. The goal of shock-responsiveness (resilience) dramatically came to the fore during the pandemic, even if recognized earlier during natural disasters and now more broadly with climate change. Globally and in Central America, SPL systems had a critical role in the response to the COVID-19 emergency.en
dc.description.abstractLos sistemas de protección social y empleo (PSE) ayudan a las personas y a la sociedad a gestionar el riesgo y la volatilidad, y a protegerse de la pobreza mediante instrumentos que permiten afrontar los retos de la resiliencia, equidad y oportunidad. Los sistemas de PSE incluyen asistencia social, seguridad social y programas de mercado laboral. Como se ha demostrado recientemente, la relativa prioridad entre los objetivos -resiliencia, equidad y oportunidad- puede cambiar en el tiempo, y las exigencias impuestas al diseño de programas de PSE y a los sistemas de implementación difieren en cada contexto. En tiempos relativamente estables, es probable que los programas se centren en la formación de capital humano, la igualdad de oportunidades, la reducción de la pobreza y la redistribución. Este era el caso en Centroamérica antes de la emergencia de COVID-19, aunque con algunas deficiencias. Aunque era reconocido antes durante los desastres naturales y de forma más amplia con el cambio climático, el objetivo de asegurar la capacidad de respuesta a los choques (resiliencia) pasó a primer plano de forma drástica durante la pandemia. A nivel mundial y en Centroamérica, los sistemas de PSE desempeñaron un papel fundamental en la respuesta a la emergencia del COVID-19.es
