Perspectiva Multidimensional de la Pobreza en el Escenario Pos-Covid-19

Abstract

The book Multidimensional Perspective of Poverty in the Post-Covid-19 Scenario analyzes the impact of the pandemic on various social and economic sectors, highlighting multidimensional poverty and the need for effective public policies to mitigate its effects. Developed by the Universidad Santo Tomás Seccional Tunja and its Contemporary Law Research Group, it addresses topics such as the relationship between law and economics in post-pandemic times, the perception of poverty based on social stratification in Colombia, economic recovery through Commercial and Labor Law, the impact on independent work and street vendors in Tunja, the link between poverty, insecurity, and crime, as well as the role of education and public policies in reducing poverty. Additionally, it examines Venezuelan migration and its challenges in the pandemic context, comparing the regulatory responses of Colombia and Spain, highlighting Colombia’s centralized power versus Spain’s decentralized approach. The book concludes with the need to strengthen public health, generate employment, and ensure economic stability after the crisis.
