Costa Rica COVID-19 Socioeconomic Impact Survey, 2021

A survey investigates the socioeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on UNHCR people of concern and nationals in Costa Rica. The project, conducted by the UN Refugee Agency, focuses on access to information, services, and livelihoods. Data collection occurred in two rounds across the Greater Metropolitan Area and Northern region in 2021.

Use Cases

• Assess pandemic impact on livelihoods opportunities based on the survey's socioeconomic focus.
• Evaluate access to information and services for refugees and nationals based on the described research objectives.
• Design targeted policy interventions based on the survey's findings on awareness and responses to restrictions.

Strengths

• Data collection involved two rounds, suggesting a longitudinal follow-up component.
• Survey targets specific geographic regions: the Greater Metropolitan Area and Northern region of Costa Rica.
• Focus includes both UNHCR people of concern and, where possible, national populations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Primary data formats are WEB APP and PDF, which may limit direct machine-readability.
