It reports infection and death figures, describes lockdown and quarantine measures, and explains an incidence analysis linking excess death registries with survey data. Findings indicate that income does not shield Peruvians from COVID-19 deaths, while age and region drive mortality variation. It also outlines persistent losses in poverty, employment quality, schooling, food security, malnutrition, stunting, and youth labor-market outcomes.","Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized  \nKEY  \nMESSAGES  \nTHE LONG-LASTING IMPACTS OF COVID-19  \nThe long-lasting impacts of COVID-19  3  \n• Peru has been one of the countries hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic in the last two years. According to the Ministry of Health, between 2020 and 2021, 3.5 million Peruvians were infected with COVID-19. and more than 213,000 died from the disease. By July 2022, Peru had experienced more than 6,000 deaths per million population due to COVID-19, placing it as the country with the highest or second-highest number of deaths per capita in the world.  \n• To prevent the spread of the virus, the government implemented a strict lockdown atthe beginning of the pandemic. The strict quarantine measures hindered people from engaging in economic and social activities. As a result, the country suffered significant social and economic losses.  \n• This chapter explores two understudied topics related to the impacts of COVID-19 on the population. First, it develops an incidence analysis of COVID-19 deaths to understand whether richer or poorer people were more affected. Then, it provides an analysis of the potential long-term impacts of COVID-19 on economic and social outcomes, which could serve as a roadmap among policy makers in seeking to prevent scarring effects.  \n• The incidence analysis of COVID-19 deaths is performed by matching national registries of excess deaths and survey data. The findings show that income did not protect Peruvians from COVID-19 deaths, while age and region of residence (departamentos) explained most of the variation in mortality rates. In most regions, urban populations ages more than 65 showed no difference in mortality rates between the lowest expenditure quintile and the highest expenditure quintile. The difference in mortality rates varied more across regions. Thus, the excess deaths in regions such as Lambayeque and Piura were twice those in Cajamarca and Huánuco and four times those in Apurimac and Huancavelica, irrespective of income levels.  \n• The immediate impacts of the pandemic revealed the fragility of the social gains. The COVID-19 shock erased a decade of social progress, as seen by the sharp increase in poverty. Employment was greatly affected, and, although they have almost recovered, the job quality and income levels still lag.  \n• The pandemic affected the process of human capital accumulation. An estimated 1.7 learning-adjusted years of schooling (LAYS) have been lost during the pandemic. In the absence of corrective policies, this generation of students will experience lower levels of human capital and lower future incomes.  \n• The loss in income during the pandemic caused families to experience food insecurity, which has long-term implications in malnutrition and stunting, which may translate into losses in productivity and still lower incomes.  \n4  The long-lasting impacts of COVID-19  \n• COVID-19 deaths will also have an effect on the families left behind by the deceased. Estimates derived from national registries show an orphan excess in Peru of 43,500 children in 2020–21 relative to 2018–19. Evidence from past epidemics shows that the death of a parent can cause serious harm to the long-term health and development of the children.  \n• The lower labor market outcomes experienced by youth during the pandemic will be a serious problem in the future, as greater exposure to unemployment is likely to affect long-term labor market fortunes.  \n• The short- and long-term effects of the pandemic call for urgent actions to prevent scarring effects, but also to better prepare for future shocks.  \nThe long-lasting impacts of COVID-19  5  \n2.1.
