The UN supports Argentine mayors squandering GDP due to the effect of the second and third hour of the pandemic, primary mortality and a lower economic recovery, with a significant accumulation of public debt and a GDP relief of around 7%. by 2030.
Roberto Valent, el director del programa de Naciones Unidas en Argentina expresó a El Cronista que “la pandemia ha exacerbado vulnerabilidades estructurales preexistentes y ampliado las consecuencias de una década de crecimiento económico promedio bajo, lo que ha llevado a calificar el período 2010-2020, no solo para la Argentina, sino también para la mayoría de los países de América Latina y el Caribe, como una década perdida”.
ECONOMIC FRAGILITY. The document shows that during the pandemic economic activity was below 9. 9%, the annual majority after the 2001/2002 crisis. This decrease is explained by traffic restrictions, increased shade and reduced foreign industrial flows.

MORTALIDAD. El documento de ONU sostiene que la Argentina ocupa el tercer lugar en la región de las Américas en número de contagios de Covid y el quinto lugar en el número de muertes. Así, señala que “la estrategia de atención primaria de la salud se vio resentida sobre todo en las fases iniciales, cuando muchos centros de salud cerraron sus puertas o redujeron al mínimo los servicios”.
THE VACCINES. The challenge of equitable access to Covid vaccines globally has also had an impact in Argentina with a delay in distribution to the population, adding to the maximum vulnerable groups, according to the UN. The case of the VIP vaccine is not mentioned nor the The rest of the government agrees with the Pfizer laboratory. But it turns out that the national State maintains “the role of director and is responsible for the supply and distribution of vaccines,” while the operational component of the crusade is the duty of jurisdiction.
POVERTY. During 2020, the effects of the pandemic had a “significant infection in financial poverty levels. “Thus, the increase in poverty from 35. 5% in 2019 to 42% so far in 2020 was detailed. And excessive poverty, meanwhile, increased from 8% to 10. 5%.

Desde el inicio de la pandemia el informe de ONU detalla que en Argentina hubo cuestionamientos respecto del uso indebido de datos personales, el aumento de noticias falsas, las acusaciones sobre vigilancia extensiva y las denuncias sobre violaciones de los derechos humanos en medio del Covid que “han socavado la confianza en los procesos democráticos y el principio de igualdad ante la ley”.
In addition, it is suitable to reveal public procurement in the context of emergence which is in separate jurisdictions due to “lack of transparency and prudence, as well as conditions of abuse of force and inequity”.
EMPLOYMENT. The reduction in wages and the destruction of employment in other sectors and occupational teams in others.
