    Se explotan datos censales de varias décadas de tres países de la región (Costa Rica, Perú y Guatemala), para describir patrones y tendencias de la migración interna, la movilidad cotidiana para trabajar y/o estudiar y la segregación residencial. Esta explotación se realiza, principalmente, mediante una aplicación computacional llamada ODISEA, basada en el procesador web de Redatam, la que permite el procesamiento fluido de microdatos censales y posterior visualización cartográfica de sus resultados, en particular localización y flujos migratorios y de movilidad de la población.Los resultados revelan que la segregación residencial sigue siendo alta en Lima y que se da tanto por exclusión territorial de los grupos desaventajados, localizados en zonas desfavorecidas en muchos sentidos, como por la agrupación territorial de los grupos aventajados que se encapsulan para distinguirse, protegerse y potenciar sus recursos materiales y culturales. En el caso de la migración, los resultados sugieren procesos de suburbanización masivos en San José de Costa Rica, conducentes a una expansión metropolitana significativa y también altamente segmentada en términos socioeconómicos.Finalmente, la movilidad cotidiana para trabajar en Guatemala muestra una marcada concentración de los empleos en el municipio de Guatemala, que recibe ingentes flujos diarios de conmutantes de todos los otros municipios del área metropolitana de la Ciudad de Guatemala y del resto del país incluso. El carácter monocétrico del emplazamiento laboral de esta área metropolitana contrasta con la acelerada expansión de su periferia debido a flujos de emigración desde el municipio de Guatemala.Todos estos fenómenos —segregación residencial socioeconómica, migración suburbana y monocentrismo del empleo— generan una configuración sociometropolitana desafiante para la cohesión social y para la movilidad inclusiva, sostenible e inteligente.

    Concerns about loneliness and social isolation are growing more than ever. With the COVID-19 pandemic entering its second year, there are fears that the toll on loneliness could have consequences long after the virus recedes. This study offers a comparative overview of the incidence and determinants of loneliness and social isolation in Europe in the pre-COVID-19 period. The empirical results indicate that 8.6% of the adult population in Europe suffer from frequent loneliness and 20.8% from social isolation, with eastern Europe recording the highest prevalence of both phenomena. Trends over time do not indicate any change in the incidence of social isolation following the widespread adoption of social media networks from 2010 onwards. The empirical analysis shows that favourable economic circumstances protect against loneliness and social isolation, while living alone and poor health constitute important loneliness risk factors. Although social isolation increases with age, the elderly do not report more frequent feelings of loneliness than other age groups, all other things being equal. The relative contributions of the different objective circumstances included in the empirical analysis - demographic characteristics, economic conditions, living arrangements, health status, religious beliefs and geographical location - to chronic loneliness and social isolation vary substantially.

    Studies have found that loneliness is as bad as smoking or obesity for mortality risk, and the prevalence of loneliness is predicted to increase with ageing populations, more people living alone, and with chronic health conditions. Despite the substantial literature on loneliness, there is little detailed research on the extent of economic gradients. In this paper we provide this evidence using a sample of around 400,000 respondents (aged 40-70) from the UK Biobank. We focus on differences in loneliness across educational attainment, household income and neighbourhood deprivation, as well as recent major life events including financial difficulties. Using two statistical approaches, we find a substantially higher probability of experiencing loneliness, but also social isolation and a lack of social support, for men and women with low socioeconomic status, even when comparing those residing in the same postcode district. Additionally, the recent experience of financial stress is strongly associated with worse social health. Our results are robust to a panel analysis that accounts for intercorrelations between loneliness, social isolation and lack of social support, and controls for sample attrition.

    As of the end of May 2021, more than 170 million people worldwide were infected with COVID-19, with the total death toll exceeding 3.7 million. The COVID-19 pandemic and the demand for physical distancing and social isolation have highlighted digital financial services (DFS) as a typical solution for getting the basic services we need in our daily lives. Thus, to understand the behavior of people using digital financial services during a pandemic, in particular in developing countries, we used the UTAUT model, expanding it with two constructions: fear of COVID-19 as a moderator and social isolation as a direct determinant for behaviour intention. A survey method is used, in which primary data is collected through survey platforms and social networks from people from developing countries, more than 400 participants aged 18 and over. This study uses structural equation modeling (SEM) to test our constructs and hypotheses, analyze relationships, and determine the overall fit of the model. The study used factor analysis (EFA, CFA) and covariance-based SEM. As a result, we found that all UTAUT constructs and social isolation positively influence behavioral intent and actual use of DFS during a pandemic. Testing the moderating role of COVID fear for other constructs plays a positive role, with the exception of the relationship between expected performance and behavior intensity and the relationship between behavioral intent and actual use.

Esta explotación se realiza, principalmente, mediante una aplicación computacional llamada ODISEA, basada en el procesador web de Redatam, la que permite el procesamiento fluido de microdatos censales y posterior visualización cartográfica de sus resultados, en particular localización y flujos migratorios y de movilidad de la población.Los resultados revelan que la segregación residencial sigue siendo alta en Lima y que se da tanto por exclusión territorial de los grupos desaventajados, localizados en zonas desfavorecidas en muchos sentidos, como por la agrupación territorial de los grupos aventajados que se encapsulan para distinguirse, protegerse y potenciar sus recursos materiales y culturales. En el caso de la migración, los resultados sugieren procesos de suburbanización masivos en San José de Costa Rica, conducentes a una expansión metropolitana significativa y también altamente segmentada en términos socioeconómicos.Finalmente, la movilidad cotidiana para trabajar en Guatemala muestra una marcada concentración de los empleos en el municipio de Guatemala, que recibe ingentes flujos diarios de conmutantes de todos los otros municipios del área metropolitana de la Ciudad de Guatemala y del resto del país incluso.
