Abstract

Usamos datos de Colombia para analizar preocupaciones económicas persona- les y sociales generadas por la pandemia de COVID-19, el cumplimiento del ais- lamiento y la aprobación del Gobierno, antes y después de la cuarentena. En la poscuarentena, las preocupaciones personales aumentaron, mientras las socia- les disminuyeron. Un alto porcentaje de personas reporta ambas preocupacio- nes. El cumplimiento de la cuarentena aumentó, pero la aprobación del Gobierno disminuyó. Usando análisis de regresiones, estimamos correlaciones entre estas variables y características socioeconómicas de las personas. Las preocupaciones económicas personales son importantes entre mujeres cabeza de hogar, individuos con personas a cargo y trabajadores informales. Las sociales son menos importan- tes entre jóvenes, y más importantes entre mujeres y personas informadas. El cum- plimiento de la cuarentena es menor entre jóvenes y mayor entre no trabajadores e informales. La aprobación del Gobierno es menor entre jóvenes y personas con educación intermedia, y mayor entre personas más informadas. Discutimos aspec- tos de política pública. ****** Using information from Colombia, we analyse the individuals’ economic and social concerns generated by COVID-19, compliance with social distancing meas- ures, and approval of the Government during and after the quarantine. Personal economic concerns increased during the post quarantine period, while social con- cerns decreased. A high percentage of people report both concerns. Compliance with the quarantine increased, while approval of the Government declined. Using regression analysis, we estimate correlations between these variables and an indi- viduals’ socioeconomic characteristics. Women heads of households, individ- uals with dependents, and informal workers are more likely to report personal economic concerns. Social concerns are less likely among the youth and more likely among women and informed people. Compliance with the quarantine is less likely among young people and more likely among non-working informal work- ers. Approval of the government in less likely among the youth, people with an intermediate level of education and more likely among informed people. We dis- cuss several public policy aspects.
