Afro-descendants in Latin America

Abstract

Pelo menos um em cada quatro latino-americanos se identifica como afrodescendente. Eles compõem uma população altamente heterogênea e estão desigualmente distribuídos na região, mas compartilham uma longa história de deslocamento e exclusão. Apesar dos grandes avanços da última década, os afrodescendentes ainda estão super-representados entre os pobres e sub-representados nos cargos de decisão, tanto no setor público quanto no privado. Por essa razão, a erradicação da pobreza e a promoção do desenvolvimento e do bem-estar sustentáveis na região dependerão em grande parte da inclusão social de pessoas de ascendência africana. Este relatório busca aprofundar o conhecimento empírico sobre as razões por trás da persistente exclusão de afrodescendentes, com o objetivo de gerar respostas e soluções adequadas a este problema. O relatório propõe um marco analítico para organizar e pensar sobre a multiplicidade de opções disponíveis para lidar com as situações dos afrodescendentes, a partir da experiência acumulada na região e dos dados disponíveis sobre os afrodescendentes e suas realidades.

Al menos uno de cada cuatro latinoamericanos se identifica como afrodescendiente. Constituyen una población altamente heterogénea y están distribuidos de forma desigual en la región, pero comparten una larga historia de desplazamiento y exclusión. A pesar de los grandes avances de la década pasada, los afrodescendientes aún están sobrerrepresentados entre los pobres y subrepresentados en las posiciones de toma de decisiones, tanto en el sector público como en el privado. Por esto, la erradicación de la pobreza y la creación de un bienestar sostenido en la región va a depender en gran medida de la inclusión social de los afrodescendientes. Este reporte busca profundizar el conocimiento empírico de las razones detrás de la persistente exclusión de los afrodescendientes, con el fin de desarrollar soluciones apropiadas. El reporte propone un marco para organizar y pensar en la multiplicidad de opciones disponibles para abordar sus situaciones, basado en la experiencia acumulada en la región y la data disponible.

About one in four Latin Americans self-identify as Afro-descendants today. They comprise a highly heterogeneous population and are unevenly distributed across the region, but share a common history of displacement and exclusion. Despite significant gains over the past decade, Afro-descendants still are overrepresented among the poor and are underrepresented in decision-making positions, both in the private and the public sector. The extent to which Latin America will be able to end extreme poverty and boost shared prosperity will therefore depend, to a very large degree, on the social inclusion of Afro-descendants. The objective of this study is to deepen the region's empirical understanding of the drivers behind the persistent exclusion of the afro-descendants, as a first step to design appropriate solutions. The report proposes a framework to organize and think of the myriad options available to address their situations, based on the experience accumulated by the region and the data available.
