No 91777, The Social Policy and Labor Discussion Paper Series from The World Bank

Abstract: Disaster and climate related events exacerbate chronic and transitory poverty because poor and near-poor people have fewer coping and recovery mechanisms. In vulnerable countries, the increase in frequency and severity of such events will lead to a growing need for effective social protection policies and programs.
