It then focuses on how the Covid-19 pandemic has impacted such trends. Our argument is that the pandemic has an amplifying effect on inequalities and in particular has produced and is likely to produce social reversals in different dimensions. Indeed, Latin America is one of the epicenters of the pandemic because of its structural conditions of inequality and exclusion and, in turn, the pandemic will produce an increase in inequality and very particularly social setbacks in indicators that have been improving in recent decades. In this way, the pandemic highlights how difficult it is for our societies to achieve progress in social terms and the fragility of several of these achievements. Thus, not only does the solid fade away, but also the fragile does so, but before. Este artículo presenta un balance sintético de los avances sociales en términos de ingresos, trabajo, salud, educación y vivienda, así como sus retrocesos, en la América Latina del ciclo posneoliberal. Luego se centra en cómo ha impactado la pandemia del Covid-19 en tales tendencias. Nuestro argumento es que la pandemia tiene un efecto amplificador de las desigualdades y en particular ha producido y posiblemente producirá retrocesos sociales en distintas dimensiones. En efecto, América Latina es uno de los epicentros de la pandemia por sus condiciones estructurales de desigualdad y exclusión y, a su vez, la pandemia producirá un incremento de la desigualdad y, muy particularmente, retrocesos sociales en indicadores que trabajosamente han ido mejorando en las últimas décadas. De este modo, la pandemia pone de manifiesto lo trabajoso para nuestras sociedades de lograr avances en términos sociales y la fragilidad de varios de esos logros. Así, no solo lo sólido se desvanece, sino que también lo frágil lo hace, pero antes. Facultad de Filosofía y Humanidades.
