On October 4th and 5th, the CISS hosted the first Workshop for the “Regional Strategy to Design a Longitudinal Social Protection Survey (ELPS for its acronym in Spanish)”, an important regional developed by the
Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), the
CISS, and the
Microdata Center of the University of Chile (CMD). Its main objective is to create a panel survey focusing on social protection in eight Latin-American countries: Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay and Uruguay. The workshop had participants from all the selected countries as well as the institutions in charge of the ELPS at a regional level. Likewise we were honored with Mitchell Seligson assistance, director of Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP), as peer reviewer. The event took place in the CISS headquarters in Mexico City. It was a technical workshop where participants discussed fundamental topics for the successful implementation of the ELPS, which will contribute to improve labor and social protection policies in the region.
