“…While the former has a participation high in value added and low in employment, agriculture contributes more to workers than to economic production. These results support the hypothesis of significant regional disparities, both inter and intra-regional, which has been previously documented in the literature (Bonet & Meisel, 2001;Galvis & Meisel, 2010). The next step is to analyse intraregional differences, specifically the share of each sector on the total value added and workers.…”

This paper analyses the regional economic differences in the impact of lockdown measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 ordered by Colombia’s national government. Using an input-output model, we estimate regional economic losses by extracting a group of formal and informal workers from different sectors of the economy. Results show regional differences in the impact of lockdown measures on their labour markets, local economies, and productive sectors. We also find that peripheral regions consolidate a higher number of informal workers in isolation than the interior regions. Regarding the economic impact, regional losses range between 5,4% of the GDP (Amazonia) and 6,3% (the Coffee Area and Antioquia).

“…This strategy permits carrying out different scenarios based on goals for compliance to the measures. For example, if we would like to investigate a case that is both consistent with the set of pre-defined factors, F q n , , and a desirable level of compliance, , 8 we can find an adjustment weight () to be applied across all F q n , :…”

“…Royuela and García (2015) also find no support for economic growth convergence; however, they find convergence in variables that measure life quality such as literacy rate and life expectancy at birth. Galvis and Meisel (2010) and Bonilla et al (2011) confirm the persistence of regional disparities and show that the most unequal regions are those on the periphery, that is, the Pacific and Caribbean coasts, followed by the Orinoquia and Amazonia regions; the Andean region is confirmed as the top performer. Among all the regions, the Pacific receives special attention in the literature because of the great socioeconomic challenges it faces (Carabalí, 2016;Galvis et al, 2016).…”

This article reviews the international literature focusing on territorial disparities to identify key areas of focus through both a traditional and a big data approach considering a highly unequal country: Colombia. First, we use a traditional approach with a manual scan of the literature to provide a structured review and highlight areas of focus and the key findings. We then take a big data approach to identify gaps in the literature. Using the international literature on regional disparities as a point of reference, we identify areas that, compared with international literature, have been understudied in Colombia. We also point to areas that are guaranteed to be subjects of further research to contribute to a better understanding of the challenges related to regional development in Colombia and thus to better informed policy design.

“…Es importante resaltar que una política económica que considere la integralidad como uno de sus pilares, debe reconocer las diferencias o particularidades de las distintas regiones para que de manera concertada desde el Gobierno donde se coordinan esfuerzos para alcanzar un desarrollo socio-económico equilibrado se logre sacar a la periferia del país de las condiciones de pobreza en que se encuentra (17). La afectación de los determinantes sociales estructurales, son resultado de la violación reiterada y sistemática de los derechos humanos, como el acceso a la salud, vivienda, alimentación y educación, aspectos que durante años han afectado la ocurrencia de muertes materna en el país (19).…”

Introducción: La vigilancia de la mortalidad materna es una herramienta para el monitoreo y toma de decisiones que pueden impactar en su reducción, su análisis es fundamental. Según datos de la OMS cada día mueren en todo el mundo cerca de 830 mujeres por complicaciones relacionadas con el embarazo o el parto, en Colombia según datos oficiales del Departamento Administrativo Nacional de Estadísticas (DANE) la razón de mortalidad materna presenta una tendencia decreciente pasando de 73,3 casos en el 2007 a 51,0 casos por 100 000 nacidos vivos en el 2017. En 2018 y 2019 se presentaron 46,1 y 47,1 / 100 000 nacidos vivos respectivamente. Objetivo: describir el comportamiento de la mortalidad materna durante el 2019, realizando un análisis con el año anterior y relacionando las principales variables socio-demográficas. Metodología: Se realizó un análisis descriptivo retrospectivo de los casos de mortalidad materna notificados al Sistema Nacional de Vigilancia en Salud Pública, donde se incluyó el análisis de las principales variables sociales, demográficas y del sistema de salud. Resultados: Durante el 2019 se notificaron 511 muertes maternas, de las cuales 298 se clasificaron como mortalidades maternas tempranas, se incluyeron 24 casos de nacionalidad extranjera ya que cumplen con la definición de residencia habitual. La tendencia de la razón de mortalidad materna durante los años 2009 a 2019 presento tendencia a la disminución la cual es estadísticamente significativa (P=0,000359). Se presentó aumento en las entidades territoriales de Vichada (p=0,0000), Guainía (p=0,000), Vaupés (p=0,0003), Atlántico (p=0,0070), Barranquilla (p=0,0065) y Cartagena (p=0,0276). La principal causa de muerte es la hemorragia obstétrica seguida del trastorno hipertensivo asociado al embarazo. Conclusiones: La mortalidad materna en Colombia durante los años 2009 a 2019 presenta una tendencia a la disminución; sin embargo, la región atlántica y amazónica muestran tendencia al aumento de casos.
