Income inequality and poverty and their links to labour inclusion

The recovery from the economic crisis caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic continued in 2022, with varying strength, in virtually all the Latin American countries.

These changes in the labour market meant that earnings and household incomes rose in most of the countries, although inflation remained high, affecting lower-income households most severely.
