Luisa S. Flor et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the indirect effects of COVID-19 on gender disparities globally. The findings showed that during the pandemic, women experienced greater inequality in employment, forgoing work to care for others, dropping out of school, and experiencing gender-based violence. These results indicate the need for prioritizing policies that promote women's participation in the labor force and education, enabling them to overcome the barriers they face.

Impact of COVID-19 lockdown policy on homicide, suicide, and motor vehicle deaths in Peru

Renzo J. C. Calderon-Anyosa et al.

Summary: The impact of COVID-19 lockdown measures on violent and accidental deaths in Peru was investigated, revealing a significant decrease in all forms of deaths examined. Traffic accident-related deaths saw the largest reduction, while homicides and suicides showed similar declines by gender, with a higher increase rate in male homicides. This suggests that mobility restrictions had a natural impact on traffic accidents, but the patterns and changes in homicides and suicides warrant further study.

Effect of socioeconomic inequalities and vulnerabilities on health-system preparedness and response to COVID-19 in Brazil: a comprehensive analysis

Rudi Rocha et al.

Summary: This study in Brazil found that socioeconomic vulnerability, rather than age or health status, significantly impacted the course of the COVID-19 epidemic. Government responses and population behaviors in areas with higher socioeconomic vulnerability played a crucial role in containing the effects of the epidemic. Targeted policies and actions are necessary to protect those with the greatest socioeconomic vulnerability, and this experience may be applicable to other low- and middle-income countries with varying levels of socioeconomic vulnerability.

Older adults in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil: effects on health, income and work

Dalia Elena Romero et al.

Summary: This study aimed to characterize the population of older adults in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic regarding various aspects including health, socioeconomic conditions, gender inequality, adherence to social distancing, and emotional well-being. Findings revealed a fall in household income, varying levels of adherence to social distancing measures, and common feelings of sadness among older adults, particularly women. Strategies to address the impact of the pandemic on this population, especially in terms of social vulnerability and gender differences, are recommended. Further representative surveys are encouraged to understand the effects of the pandemic on Brazilian older adults.
