Abstract: | ||
"(...) This third edition of the “living paper” contributes to the global knowledge on how countries are
responding to the pandemic by documenting real-time actions in a key area of response – that is, social
protection measures planned or implemented by governments. For the purpose of this review, we organized
interventions by social assistance, social insurance and labor market programs. For the latter measures, we
deliberately focused on supply-side programs (e.g., mostly wage subsidies and other activation programs). In
most cases, data sources include official information published in government websites, while in many cases
we reported information from global and national news outlets. In some cases, information was provided
directly by country-based experts, while the full database was validated and integrated by regional and
country social protection teams at the World Bank. Overall, findings should be considered preliminary and
interpreted with caution. The information on country-level measures presented in this review is continuously
verified, triangulated and enriched, with updated versions being released on a weekly basis (i.e., every
Friday). This would help provide a “situation room” with a view to inform decisionmakers, practitioners and
the broad public about the most recent policy and operational developments in the sphere of social protection
responses to COVID-19. (...)" [Corona] | ||
