| description |
Public safety nets in developing
countries address the vulnerability of the poor and the
near-poor to income disruption, but such formal programs do
not operate in a vacuum. Private and informal mechanisms may
already exist. The design of public interventions requires a
clear understanding of what mechanisms are already available
and how (and to what extent) individuals and households use
them to cope with income fluctuations. This note surveys
some of those design considerations. |
