CoVID-19 has exposed how ‘the other half’ (still) lives.

2020 fue sin duda un año difícil, pero somehow hay un artículo preparado, cocinado y salido del horno este año. Por supuesto, el tema es la pandemia covid-19. Un proyecto que no habría podido ocurrir sin la colaboración con Eduardo Undurraga, de la Escuela de Gobierno UC y del que vienen otras publicaciones (stay tuned!). Pueden bajar el paper en este link, si tienen problemas para verlo me escriben (contacto)

Abstract

Socioeconomic factors are heavily shaping the COVID-19 pandemic in
South America. Consequently, societies are now facing the stark effects
of lockdown, while largely failing to stop the epidemic. In Chile, this
has been amplified by decision-makers who have overlooked critical
socio-spatial aspects of the epidemic. Precarious living conditions,
together with spatial segregation and unstable domestic economies, help
explain why mitigation strategies remain unsuccessful. The article also
explores how political frameworks for approaching these issues may
change because of the pandemic.
