Item type:Publication, Digital inclusion across the Americas and the Caribbean(Cogitatio Press, 2020-01-01)This research brings together digital inequality scholars from across the Americas and Caribbean to examine efforts to tackle digital inequality in Uruguay, Chile, Peru, Brazil, Mexico, Cuba, Jamaica, the United States, and Canada. As the case studies show, governmental policy has an important role to play in reducing digital disparities, particularly for potential users in rural or remote areas, as well as populations with great economic disparities. We find that public policy can effectively reduce access gaps when it combines the trifecta of network, device, and skill provision, especially through educational institutions. We also note, that urban populations have benefitted from digital inclusion strategies to a greater degree. This underscores that, no matter the national context, rural-urban digital inequality (and often associated economic inequality) is resistant to change. Even when access is provided, potential users may not find it affordable, lack skills, and/or see no benefit in adoption. We see the greatest potential for future digital inclusion in two related approaches: 1) initiatives that connect with hard-to-reach, remote, and rural communities outside urban cores and 2) initiatives that learn from communities about how best to provide digital resources while respecting their diversely situated contexts, while meeting social, economic and political needs. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, A 32-society investigation of the influence of perceived economic inequality on social class stereotyping(Wiley, 2022-11-08)There is a growing body of work suggesting that social class stereotypes are amplified when people perceive higher levels of economic inequality—that is, the wealthy are perceived as more competent and assertive and the poor as more incompetent and unassertive. The present study tested this prediction in 32 societies and also examines the role of wealth‐based categorization in explaining this relationship. We found that people who perceived higher economic inequality were indeed more likely to consider wealth as a meaningful basis for categorization. Unexpectedly, however, higher levels of perceived inequality were associated with perceiving the wealthy as less competent and assertive and the poor as more competent and assertive. Unpacking this further, exploratory analyses showed that the observed tendency to stereotype the wealthy negatively only emerged in societies with lower social mobility and democracy and higher corruption. This points to the importance of understanding how socio‐structural features that co‐occur with economic inequality may shape perceptions of the wealthy and the poor.1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Navigating resettlement in the Peruvian Amazon: Gender inequalities in Nueva Ciudad de Belén(Universidad Nacional de Colombia::will be referenced::ROR-ID, 2024-01-01)This article aims to demonstrate, from a gender and intersectionality perspective, how population resettlement as an urban policy in disaster risk management contexts generates inequalities for a specific group of women. The case of the population resettlement of the New City of Belén, a project executed in urban areas of the Peruvian Amazon, was investigated using a qualitative approach based on interviews and participant observation. The results showed that, within the framework of the urbanization process of the city of Iquitos, characterized by the presence of external actors, the planning of resettlement did not consider the local particularities of the territory and reinforced gender stereotypes regarding the use of space between men and women. This resulted in changes in the routines of resettled individuals, particularly women, who are primarily responsible for caregiving tasks. Finally, it highlights how gender, along with other demographic and socioeconomic dimensions, structures urban resettlement policy, generating unequal experiences within a similarly vulnerable group facing the State. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, High Economic Inequality Is Linked to Greater Moralization(2023-03-30)Throughout the 21st century, economic inequality is predicted to increase as we face new challenges, from changes in the technological landscape to the growing climate crisis. It is crucial we understand how these changes in inequality may affect how people think and behave. We propose that economic inequality threatens the social fabric of society, in turn increasing moralization – that is, the greater tendency to employ or emphasize morality in everyday life – as an attempt to restore order and control. Using longitudinal data from X, formerly known as Twitter, our first study demonstrates that high economic inequality is associated with greater use of moral language online (e.g., the use of words such as ‘disgust’, ‘hurt’ and ‘respect’). Study 2 then examined data from 41 regions around the world, generally showing that higher inequality has a small association with harsher moral judgments of people’s everyday actions. Together these findings demonstrate that economic inequality is linked to the tendency to see the world through a moral lens. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, Unveiling Injustice: Analyzing Child Mortality Inequality across decades in Peru (1981–2017)(Elsevier BV, 2026-01-01)Peru is a developing country that has significantly improved the average of almost all health indicators. Specifically, in the past four decades, child mortality decreased tenfold. However, the same is not necessarily true of equality, which remains a challenge. Using microdata from Peru's population censuses in 1981, 1993, 2007, and 2017, we estimate the inequality in child mortality across different social groups. We estimate differences between ethnic groups, education levels, wealth quintiles, regions, and urban–rural groups and find that although inequality has decreased, it remains significantly high. The data show that inequality in child mortality increased between 1981 and 1993, declined between 1993 and 2007, and then increased between 2007 and 2017. Differences in education are the most crucial factor, associated with 45 % of the inequality in 1981 and 58 % in 2017. Differences between Lima and rural areas account for 27 % to 30 % of the inequality, while ethnicity contributes only 6 % in 1981 and 10 % in 2017. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Espacio público y desigualdad urbana. Análisis espacial del acceso al espacio público en la Provincia Constitucional del Callao(Academie des sciences, 2025-05-01)Este artículo analiza la desigualdad urbana desde el acceso al espacio público, construyendo una narrativa relacional mediante el análisis cartográfico y cuantitativo de distintas capas socioespaciales. Para esto, se toma como caso de estudio la Provincia Constitucional del Callao, examinando la distribución, calidad y cobertura territorial de sus espacios públicos. A continuación, se calculan los metros cuadrados de espacio público a los que pueden acceder peatonalmente los habitantes, a quince minutos desde sus viviendas. La información resultante se correlaciona con otras variables como la evolución urbana, el nivel de consolidación del hábitat, la localización de los estratos socioeconómicos y la calidad de los espacios públicos. Entre los hallazgos se destaca la caracterización de tres tipos de desigualdad con relación al acceso al espacio público. Además, se evidencia que la población más vulnerable enfrenta desigualdades en la calidad de los espacios disponibles, intensificando la superposición de asimetrías y la concentración de inequidades territoriales.3
