To identify surveys that included questions about disability during the COVID-19 pandemic, in the period 2020-2021; and based on this, to determine what actions the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean implemented in the areas of education, health, and social protection that explicitly included the population with disabilities.
Documents from the national statistics institutes of the countries of the region were reviewed, as well as the Socioeconomic Impact Assessment platform and webpages of international institutions such as the World Bank, the United Nations Development Program, and the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean, seeking to identify national or regional surveys implemented during 2020 and the first half of 2021. Additionally, a documentary analysis was conducted of the measures implemented in the health, education, and social protection sectors in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. These documents were studied to determine whether the population with disabilities was explicitly mentioned.
Twenty-three countries in Latin America and the Caribbean collected information from statistical surveys during 2020-2021. Of these, only four (Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, and Peru) included questions on disability in their national surveys and although some specific surveys were conducted for the population with disabilities, in the region there is a general lack of associated data on this population during the pandemic. Only 10 countries explicitly included the population with disabilities in health measures, 12 in education, and 13 in social protection.
The lack of data on the population with disabilities in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean during the COVID-19 pandemic shows that this population remains invisible in information collection processes. This is associated with the low number of countries that explicitly included the population with disabilities in policies implemented to mitigate the impact of the pandemic.
识别在2020 - 2021年期间包含关于新冠疫情期间残疾问题的调查；并据此确定拉丁美洲和加勒比地区国家在教育、卫生和社会保护领域采取了哪些明确纳入残疾人群体的行动。
查阅了该地区各国国家统计机构的文件，以及社会经济影响评估平台和世界银行、联合国开发计划署、拉丁美洲和加勒比经济委员会等国际机构的网页，以寻找2020年和2021年上半年实施的国家或区域调查。此外，对卫生、教育和社会保护部门为应对新冠疫情而实施的措施进行了文献分析。研究这些文件以确定是否明确提及了残疾人群体。
2020 - 2021年期间，拉丁美洲和加勒比地区有23个国家从统计调查中收集了信息。其中，只有四个国家（哥伦比亚、哥斯达黎加、墨西哥和秘鲁）在其国家调查中纳入了有关残疾的问题，并且尽管针对残疾人群体进行了一些特定调查，但该地区在疫情期间普遍缺乏关于这一群体的相关数据。只有10个国家在卫生措施中明确纳入了残疾人群体，12个国家在教育措施中纳入，13个国家在社会保护措施中纳入。
拉丁美洲和加勒比地区国家在新冠疫情期间缺乏关于残疾人群体的数据，这表明该群体在信息收集过程中仍然不被关注。这与在为减轻疫情影响而实施的政策中明确纳入残疾人群体的国家数量较少有关。
