The survey covered six thousand households in rural and peri-urban areas nationwide. The objective of the survey was to better understand the exposure of households to major natural and socio-economic shocks, their means of coping with these shocks, and the impact of shocks on household welfare. While most households appear to be able to withstand a range of smaller shocks to assets and income, larger and more covariate shocks continue to pose a major risk to household assets, food security and overall welfare. These effects persist for up to two years following the shock. The authors findings point to the importance of having established formal social assistance to help the chronically poor build their resilience and assist other households that are normally non-poor to cope in the event of major shocks. 2020-02-21T16:18:38Z 2020-02-21T16:18:38Z 2019-11 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/318281581716869564/Risk-and-Vulnerability-in-Nepal-Findings-from-the-Household-Risk-and-Vulnerability-Survey http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33365 English CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work Economic & Sector Work :: Risk and Vulnerability Assessment South Asia Nepal
