dc.description | This Session discussed Economic shocks and natural disasters, the latter frequently associated with ongoing climate change and disproportionately affect the poor. Poor households cope with unanticipated shocks by drawing upon the individual, community, market, and public resources. Although such shocks may be of relatively short duration, an extensive body of literature has shown that vulnerable households and individuals may be left to cope in ways that have long-term adverse consequences for human development. Such adverse outcomes become more likely during global crises when many are simultaneously affected (aggregate shocks), and some forms of community, market and public may falter. The global economic crisis is one such episode, as are the recurrent episodes of high food and energy prices. | en |
