“…(26,27) However, studies using individual-level data on patients who tested positive for COVID-19 highlight that, after controlling for health risk factors, individuals' socioeconomic characteristics were important in determining mortality outcomes. (28)(29)(30) For example, the probability of dying due to COVID-19 among individuals in the lowest income quantile was five times the probability of dying as those in the highest decile, even after accounting for health risk factors. (29) Individuals' socioeconomic conditions were important for coping with lockdowns and mitigating virus spread.…”

Background Life expectancy at birth in Mexico has stagnated since the early 2000s. As the COVID-19 pandemic hit, Mexico experienced sizable excess mortality, albeit with large regional variation. We aimed to assess the contribution of violence, COVID-19, and causes of death amenable to healthcare to life expectancy changes between 2015 and 2021 in Mexico. Methods We used administrative mortality data by causes of death, and adjusted population exposures from the National Population Council. We applied demographic decomposition methods to assess life expectancy changes at the subnational level, by year and sex. Findings Life expectancy between 2015 and 2019 declined from 71.8 to 71.1 years for males and stagnated at 77.6 years for females. Violence among young males accounted for 54.3% of life expectancy losses. Between 2019 and 2020, life expectancy decreased by 7.1 and 4.4 years for males and females, respectively. COVID-19 deaths accounted for 55.4% (males) and 57.7% (females). In 2021, male life expectancy stagnated at 64.1 years due to reductions in deaths due to amenable diseases but continued increasing for females by 0.44 years mainly due to reductions in COVID-19 deaths. Interpretation We document large variations in life expectancy losses across Mexican states, which are associated with preexistent high levels of violence, and socioeconomic disadvantages across geographical areas. Our results serve as a reminder that violence has negative health implications for both sexes and that COVID-19 affected more socially disadvantaged states.

“…On the other hand, Arceo-Gomez et al [68], based on data from the Mexican Institute of Social Security, argue that not only did COVID-19 not affect the likelihood of employment and wages, but also that workers who became infected with COVID-19 had a higher probability of maintaining their current jobs and payment than individuals who did not. The positive or negative response to a job search affects the perceived returns of workers accordingly, and workers' motives to search for a job have not changed according to novel aspects of the COVID-19 recession [69].…”

In the 21st century, prior to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous transformations were already underway in the field of employment. However, this unprecedented global health crisis has had a profound influence on employment worldwide, yielding both positive and negative outcomes across various labor aspects. Consequently, while certain effects are anticipated to be temporary, others are likely to instigate enduring changes in employment practices.

“…La Covid-19 ha afectado la economía de los países de Latinoamérica (Arceo-Gomez et al, 2023), volver a tiempos normales en términos económicos supone un gran sacrificio de los gobiernos para enfrentar las deudas brutas y la reducción del Producto Interno Bruto (PIB). Es decir, los países más endeudados al inicio de la pandemia poseen menor capacidad de respuesta (Lugo-Morin, 2022), para ello los espacios fiscales son una alternativa para la recuperación sostenible.…”

In the context of post-pandemic recovery plans, several countries have glimpsed a window of opportunity to integrate robust strategies to combat climate change, aligning measures that support the transition to renewable energies. Latin America, a region endowed with significant clean energy potential, has experienced challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis, which has considerably impacted the implementation and optimization of these energies. This study sought to meticulously examine the process and challenges of energy transition in the post-pandemic scenario in Latin America, implementing a methodology that amalgamates qualitative and quantitative approaches. Through a theoretical and empirical exploration, it explored the prevailing energy dilemmas during the pandemic, identifying the main barriers and advantages intrinsic to the energy transition. Although investment in the region remains heavily weighted towards the non-renewable energy sector, Latin America has demonstrated tangible progress in energy transition. The analysis led to relevant recommendations for incorporating vital elements in government climate policies and identifying critical competencies for stakeholders, advocating for a more substantial commitment to energy sustainability in the region's future.
