\r\n\t\t\r\n\t\tVoxDev Talk with economists Rema Hanna and Ben Olken\r\n\t\t<\/a>\r\n\t<\/h2>\r\n\t

This VoxDev talk discusses what countries need to do in order to help shield poor people from the worst of the crisis (it registers as an hour, but is actually more like 20 minutes, the usual for a VoxDev talk).<\/p>\r\n\t

Description from VoxDev:<\/a><\/h3>\r\n

The COVID-19 pandemic has pushed the world\u2019s most vulnerable into further hardship. Social distancing has meant that many in the developing world have seen their sources of income evaporate. In this VoxDev talk, Rema Hanna and Ben Olken discuss the need for rapid responses across the developing world to protect the poorest. Countries must build on the unique structures and programmes that they already have in place to guarantee a timely response. This being said, there are a number of concepts that policymakers should take into account including community-based targeting, self-targeting, and temporary insurance subsidies for the poor.<\/p>\r\n
