Políticas fiscales para mejorar el acceso económico a dietas saludables

Autor: Diaz-bonilla, Eugenio , Centurión, Miriam , Paz, Flor

Número de Páginas: 42

Este es un documento de apoyo a la Consulta Regional en “Innovaciones en políticas económicas y sociales para hacer frente a el sobrepeso y la obesidad en América Latina y el Caribe,” organizada por la FAO con apoyo del IFPRI. El foco particular es el acceso económico de toda la población para acceder a una alimentación suficiente, saludable y diversificada, con el objetivo de mejorar las condiciones de pobreza, hambre, malnutrición y las enfermedades y muertes asociadas con dietas inadecuadas. El acceso económico a dietas saludables depende especialmente de los precios de los productos y de los ingresos de los consumidores, pero también presupone la disponibilidad y accesibilidad física, y la conveniencia de la dieta. Se puede plantear que los aspectos de disponibilidad y accesibilidad, por una parte, y los de conveniencia, por el otro, afectan el “precio efectivo total” de la dieta: el precio de compra directo de los productos que componen la dieta, más los costos de transporte y tiempo de llegar al lugar donde están disponibles para su compra, más los costos de tiempo y preparación de esos productos en la dieta que finalmente se consume.

Improving livelihoods and reducing outmigration from the Northern Triangle in Central America: The potential role of cash transfers in expanded social safety nets

Autor: Diaz-bonilla, Eugenio , Centurión, Miriam

Número de Páginas: 72

In 2019 almost 45 million immigrants lived in the United States, or about 13.7% of the total population, approaching the record high of 14.8% in 1890. Of that total, about 77% are lawful residents (either nat-uralized, permanent residents, or temporary residents), and the difference (about 23% or 11 million per-sons) are illegal immigrants. Both in the case of legal and illegal immigrants, the largest percentage is from Mexico (24% of the legal immigrants and somewhat less than 50% of the illegal ones, but those percentages have been declining since the mid-2000s). About 20% of the illegal immigration living in the US in 2017 came from Central America, principally El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala (Ameri-can Immigration Council, 2021 and Passel and D’Vera Cohn, 2019). Overall, these three countries are the origin of about 3.3 million immigrants (legal and illegal) in the US in 2019 (Babich and Batalova, 2021).
