UNHCR Survey on COVID-19 Socioeconomic Impact in Mexico, 2021

UNHCR research investigates the pandemic's secondary economic shock on refugees and nationals in three Mexican regions. Two rounds of data collection tracked impacts on access to information, services, and livelihoods opportunities. The survey provides policy-relevant information for designing and evaluating interventions.

Use Cases

• Assessing differential access to information and services based on survey responses
• Tracking changes in livelihood opportunities across two rounds of data collection
• Comparing pandemic impacts between refugee populations and nationals where data allows
• Evaluating regional policy effectiveness across Southern Mexico, Mexico City, and the Northern/Central Industrial Corridor

Strengths

• Survey conducted in two rounds, enabling follow-up with respondents
• Focus on three distinct geographic regions within Mexico
• Produced by UNHCR, a specialized UN agency

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to the three surveyed regions
