| Summary: | This article aims to analyze the economic vulnerability faced by indigenous households in the Mayan Zone of Quintana Roo, Mexico in the context of economic unemployment due to COVID19. To fulfill the objective, an analysis of the income structure of indigenous households in the Maya area of Quintana Roo, Mexico, was proposed. It is assumed that households whose income structure is oriented towards income from work will be more vulnerable than those with a structure more oriented towards conditional cash transfers that the federal government grants. The hypothesis is verified and it is also shown that households that also support their income structure in remittances and agricultural activity will also be vulnerable to economic unemployment. This exercise can help public decision makers to design and manage public policies that lessen the impact of economic unemployment due to COVID-19 in homes that are poor and vulnerable, such as those where indigenous populations live. |
