| Summary: | This brief presents the main findings from a rapid phone survey conducted by the World
Bank across eight South Asian countries. The primary aim of the survey was to understand changes
in the labor market among different groups. Additional questions were included on households’
ability to meet basic needs, safety nets, and coping mechanisms. In Sri Lanka, the survey was
implemented between September and December 2020, and therefore helps assess the short-term
impact of the COVID-19 crisis. |
