calidad de vida desde el enfoque de las capacidades en la crisis de la COVID-19 en Perú

Abstract

El presente trabajo propone algunas conexiones teóricas sobre el enfoque de las capacidades para repensar el concepto de calidad de vida en la pandemia de la COVID-19. En particular, este análisis se proyecta hacia los contextos peruanos de desigualdad social y pobreza, donde la agencia y las acciones colectivas –como potencialidades significativas de las personas– pueden promover capacidades frente a la crisis ocasionada por la pandemia. Se concluye que las personas organizadas, en contextos de vulnerabilidad social se identifican valores comunes, como la democracia, la justicia o la verdad: se defienden valores constitutivos para tener calidad de vida y desarrollo humano.
 The present work proposes some theoretical connections on the capabilities approach to rethink the concept of quality of life in the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular this analysis is projected towards the Peruvian contexts of social inequality and poverty, where the agency and the collective actions –as significant potentialities of people– can promote capacities towards to the crisis caused by the pandemic. It is concluded that organized people, in contexts of social vulnerability, identify common values such as democracy, justice or truth: they defend constitutive values to have quality of live and human development.

Gap and Inequality in the Economic Income of Independent Workers in the Region of Puno-Peru and the Effect of the Pandemic, 2019–2020

“…This situation in Peru is more critical, given that by 2020 almost 32,330,000 people could not guarantee to cover their basic needs, since poverty increased by 10% compared to 2019, turning the vulnerable population group into poor to precariousness (Cornejo Urbina, 2020 ; Lugo et al, 2020 ; Mújica and Pachas, 2021 ). The region of Lima was the most affected at the country level, in view of the fact that the number of people who cannot cover the expenses for the food basket increased; since in 2019, 14% of the population was registered that was in the situation of poverty and increased to 27.5% in 2020, affecting 45.7% of the rural population, since in that area it increased by 4.9% compared to 2019 and by 26% of the urban population, due to the increase in 11% (Oblitas Gonzales and Sempertegui Sánchez, 2020 ; Villar-mayuntupa and Villar-mayuntupa, 2020 ; Chiodi, 2021 ; Córdoba Ruíz and Lin, 2021 ; Gómez-Arteta, 2021 ).…”
