Abstract:
Individuals participating in the HUD Housing Choice Voucher program, formerly Section 8, can rent units in the private market and are not tied to public housing projects in a specific neighborhood. We would expect vouchers to help poor families leave the ghetto and move to more diverse communities with higher socioeconomic opportunity, but many voucher holders remain concentrated in poor, segregated communities. We use longitudinal qualitative data from one hundred low-income African American families in Mobile, Alabama, to explore this phenomenon, finding that tenants’ limited housing search resources, involuntary mobility, landlord practices, and several aspects of the voucher program itself limit families’ ability to escape disadvantaged areas. We also find that the voucher program’s regulations and funding structures do not incentivize housing authorities to promote neighborhood mobility and residential choice. This combination of forces often keeps voucher recipients in neighborhoods with high concentrations of poor and minority residents.

Abstract:
Researchers, housing program administrators, and others assume housing costs are affordable if they represent up to 30 percent of a household's income. This standard appears to be skewed against families with children. Michael Stone's "Shelter Poverty" offers a new, in some respects more precise, measure of housing affordability. Both measures were calculated to explore housing affordability among an estimated 30 million families with children, using the 1991 American Housing Survey. One-third of families had housing difficulties under either measure, but "Shelter Poverty," concentrated among lower-income families, provides a more realistic classification for families. Adopting "Shelter Poverty" would, thus, offer a more credible guide to "affordable" housing policies for America's families with children.

Abstract:
Introduction: Local public health departments may assume responsibility for sheltering and provid-ing care for medically needy populations displaced by disasters. In addition, medical special needs shelters will inevitably house persons not requiring medical assistance. The presence of nonpatients may help or hinder shelter operations. This analysis examines the composition, demographics, and medical requirements of a population in a special needs shelter. Methods: Frequencies and ratios were used to describe persons residing in a medical special needs shelter. All data were obtained from registration records from the city of Austin’s medical special needs shelter, established in response to Hurricane Rita in 2005. Results: The medically needy accounted for 58.4 percent of the shelter population. For every 100 patients, the shelter housed 71.2 nonpatients. The most common nonpatients in the shelter were family caregivers (13.1 percent), followed by dependent chil-dren (8.0 percent). Most professional caregivers were associated with some type of group facility. Conclusions: Sheltering a medically needy popu-lation means caring not only for patients but also for their accompanying caregivers, family, and depend-ents. Non–medically needy persons utilize shelter capacity and require different resources. Shelter staffing plans should not rely heavily on assistance from accompanying caregivers; instead, they should assume a substantial proportion of shelter capacity will be dedicated to non–medically needy persons.

Abstract:
Previous quantitative research on family homelessness has addressed a question of why some households become homeless. However, why some homeless families return the shelter to repeat their homelessness has not been explored well. This study aims at providing a comprehensive insight into the dynamics of homeless families by identifying the physical, social, and economic characteristics of a homeless family affecting the likelihood of their decision to stay, exit, and return the shelter. The relationships of factors with shelter exit and return were examined using Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival times and Cox Proportional Hazard regression analysis. This study employs a sample of 2348 historical records for 1462 homeless families registered to the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) database between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2017. The results indicate that structural factors such as subsidized housing program enrollment during a homeless episode and prior income play a significant role in reducing the risks of shelter exit and return rather than physical characteristics of a homeless family. Additionally, results show that variations in prior residence and exit destination of homeless families serve as factors determining the length of their shelter stay and the likelihood to return to the shelter. Integration of both shelter exit and return analysis results make policymakers and urban planners think about developing policies for coordination of housing and economic stability to address family homelessness.

Abstract:
The authors analyze 10 years of data on homelessness to determine the characteristics of homeless families most likely to find permanent housing after leaving a shelter environment. They studied 1,156 families from 1983 to 1992 to determine where these families go after leaving the shelter and whether the pattern changed over time. Logistic regression analysis found that the larger the family size and being African American were factors that predicted a decreased likelihood of finding permanent housing. Families with one child were 1.5 times more likely to find permanent housing than were families with three children, and whites were 1.9 times more likely to find permanent housing than were African Americans. Furthermore, homeless shelter residents were five times more likely to find permanent housing in 1983 than in 1992, regardless of demographic predictors. Practice and policy implications are discussed.

Abstract:
Given the precarity and mobility of neoliberalism, there has been increasing interest into constructs of ‘home’. In this article, the author defines ‘home’ as an active and relational process encompassing interactions between materiality and immateriality. Participant observation research conducted amongst shelter families in Toronto, Canada, living in motels can shed light on some of these larger global conversations about what ‘home’ is, and particularly, what it is not. These motels are utilized as part of the City of Toronto Shelter, Support and Housing Administration providing free shelter to impoverished families in need. Social workers, shelter managers and local faith group volunteers assert that the motels should be considered ‘home’ and the problem is that the women living in the motels with their children treat the physical space as transitory. In contrast, the women assert that the motel space is not a home and can never be made into one. The author argues that for these women, there are three critical elements missing in the motel: control over space, safety/security and privacy. The assertion that the motel space is not a home is a significant form of resistance to the regulatory bureaucratic structuring of daily life. However, despite this absence of home, the women feel strong identification as mothers and have formed systems of informal shared networks. This research helps to further illuminate not only our understandings of ‘home’, but also deepen and complicate normative associations equating ‘home’ with physical structure, domesticity and family.

Abstract:
Homeless children are often a hidden part of the society, though their need visible in plain sight, regarded as those that exist on the edge, perceived as shadows within society, often living in learnt fear. The intent of this dissertation is to discover how architecture can be used to convey a sense of security and stability, while providing the user with a sense of identity. That through the architecture, one can understand themselves within a space, and how space can allow them to live individually and collectively with others. The Programme of a shelter for Child-Headed families, seeks to explore the value of a shelter within an urban fabric, as a space that provides a semi-permanent solution to children who have experienced loss, and are in vulnerable situations. Exploring the notion of homelessness as far more than just a lack of shelter or having no place to sleep but advancing an opportunity to improve the lives of this socially excluded group, through architecture that speaks to identity, social inclusion and creating a sense of place. Exploring the value of a shelter within an urban fabric, as a space that engages the socio-spatial concepts, to create spaces and environments that are inclusive, and yet exclusive enough to create a haven of safety for its user, which they can identify with.

Abstract:
This thesis describes three studies that examined the experiences of foreign-born families staying in the emergency shelter system in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. In the first study, timeline mapping and qualitative interviews were conducted with 13 Canadian-born and 23 foreign-born homeless families to understand the needs of these families and their pathways into homelessness. In the second study, data were drawn from quantitative interviews with 75 heads of families who were experiencing homelessness in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. This cross-sectional study examined differences in mental and physical health, chronic medical conditions, access to care, unmet healthcare needs, and diagnoses of mental disorders between foreign-born and Canadian-born families. In the third study, in-depth interviews were used to explore the shelter experiences of 16 foreign-born adolescents and young adults (aged 16-21) who were residing in emergency shelters with their families. Overall, findings from the three studies indicated that foreign-born families faced unique challenges before and during their homelessness. Moreover, some of these challenges were associated with adjusting to life in Canada. Challenges, such as staying housed and financially stable were common and led families to require shelter services. However, foreign-born families also reported positive experiences that may buffer some of the negative impacts associated with immigrating to a new country, housing instability, and homelessness. In the first study, more heterogeneity was found in the homeless pathways reported by foreign-born families than by Canadian-born families. The experiences they had prior to homelessness were also different across themes of poverty, health and substance use, interpersonal challenges, victimization, traumatic experiences, and stressful life events. In the second study, foreign-born heads of families reported better mental health and fewer chronic medical conditions than did Canadian-born heads of families with a significantly lower proportion of foreign-born participants reporting having been diagnosed with a mental disorder. In the third study, youth described homeless shelters as stressful environments but also found that the shelters provided support to them and their families. Youth also discussed the various strategies they used to cope with the challenges of shelter life. Findings from the studies suggest that foreign-born families experiencing homelessness are a heterogeneous group with diverse needs and experiences who may require services that differ in type, duration, and intensity than those that may be required by Canadian-born families.

Abstract:
This study looks to the social trends, needs, and definition of home for the single-mother household. People need strong families to provide them with the identity, belonging, discipline, and values that are essential for full individual development ("The American Family Crisis" 16). This requires the examination of the role that the physical home environment plays in the life of the single-parent household. Personal histories, a literary search, and research of existing examples of built facilities serve to produce a series of patterns formalized in a design matrix, investigating how architecture can foster a healthy and supportive environment for the single-parent household.The intent of this research is to define a process by which the singleparent household, headed by a single mother, may be able to become self-sufficient and empowered by their housing situation. The aim is to create More than Housing (Joan Forrester Sprague), while utilizing the architecture to foster relationships and encourage growth.A resulting programmatic guide and design development tool for supportive housing, adapted to the needs of the single-parent household, creates a framework of design ideas derived from this research. This compilation is used to define design strategies and recommendations for the form and program of support systems used to illustrate the definition, application and resolution of "home" for the single-mother household.

Abstract:
Homeless women and families are among the most disenfranchised groups in society. Further, because of their homelessness and associated problems, many homeless women become separated from their children. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects on predictors of entering a shelter with or without children (shelter status) and whether or not one is separated from one or more children (child separation status) on various special need predictors. A second objective was to determine the relationship between shelter status and child separation and to understand the unique experiences of homeless women who are separated from their children. These objectives were achieved via thematic analysis, quantitative methods and qualitative methods. Results suggest that shelter status significantly related to mental illness, drug abuse and domestic violence, but child separation status only significantly relates to drug abuse. The qualitative findings examined the origins of homelessness, child separation and the women's desires to be reunited with their children. Suggestions for further research and program changes are included.

Abstract:

The Small Circles program was developed as a prevention and intervention demonstration project. It was designed as a new approach to meeting the needs of a vulnerable population with barriers to necessary services, teen mothers and their infants. The goals of the program are the reduction of child abuse and/or neglect and fostering typical development in the infants. Teen parents face gaps in and barriers to services including lack of time as well as paucities of available mental health care, parent child development groups, and dependable transportation. Small Circles is designed to fill those gaps and overcome those barriers by placing the program within shelters for teen parents and their children in Massachusetts. The program has two interacting modalities: dyadic therapy with the teen and her infant and a parent child development group. Each component takes place once a week for four weeks. The program goals would be met through a focus on the development of a positive and flexible attachment relationship through a parallel process with the therapist and teen and the teen and her infant. The demonstration project was developed through an extensive review of the literature and a survey of currently available programs that serve this population. It was evaluated by four expert reviewers, each with a particular area of expertise. The reviewers’ feedback was overall favorable with relevant suggestions for revision. Feedback was provided that the program would be improved by an emphasis on developing the precursors to attachment that are measurable, a focus on intervention alone rather than a combination with prevention, and by highlighting interventions that are evidence based. These suggestions for revision will move the initial effort to a measurable, flexible program that works to meet the criteria for its targets and goals, and ultimately provides the best services and outcomes for the teen families.

Abstract:
In this qualitative research study, I examine the literacy practices of five families who resided in a homeless shelter with attention to the complexity of literacy as it is taken up for fulfilling cultural and social goals within families, neighborhoods, and communities. Literacy is complicated through the lens of literacy sponsorship (Brandt, 2001) to suggest the differential access people have to literacy and the power sponsors have to sanction particular forms of literacy while dismissing existing literacies that families use in their everyday lives, but are undervalued in schools and the marketplace. Data collected from parent interviews and a family literacy program at the shelter shape the counterportraits (Meyer, 2010) intended to challenge the official portrait of homelessness. The analytical tool of dialogical narrative analysis (Frank, 2012) aided my identification of stories in the interviews that illustrated how parents perceived their lives before coming to the shelter, at the shelter, and how their lives would change beyond their stay at the shelter. The notion of "capital D" Discourses (Gee, 2005) supported my examination of how the parents engaged in overlapping Discourses that allowed them to contest deficit perspectives pervasive in the official portrait. The resulting counterportraits suggest that the official portrait is largely dismissive of the social problems associated with stark inequality in U.S. society. Complicating the role of literacy within this larger context of inequality is necessary to understand the wide gulf between the official portrait and the counterportraits represented in this report.

Abstract:
No cotidiano de muitas famÃlias brasileiras existem aquelas que nÃo conseguem por motivos, como a falta de assistÃncia do Estado, proteger seus filhos menores de idade que acabam, algumas vezes, indo para instituiÃÃes de abrigamento. No abrigo o (a) adolescente precisa ficar o menor tempo possÃvel para retornar ao convÃvio familiar e comunitÃrio caso possa e queira. Enquanto estÃo na instituiÃÃo, os (as) adolescentes sÃo afetados por emoÃÃes e sentimentos em relaÃÃo ao prÃprio abrigo e em relaÃÃo à famÃlia de origem. Existem laÃos de afeto que ligam e desligam adolescentes institucionalizados, suas famÃlias e o abrigo onde se encontram. Conhecer que afetos sÃo estes e se estes afetos remetem à efetivaÃÃo do direito à convivÃncia familiar e comunitÃria sÃo propÃsitos deste trabalho para problematizar e contribuir na construÃÃo de medidas que visem ao convÃvio familiar e comunitÃrio potencializador. O pÃblico desta pesquisa sÃo adolescentes de 12 (doze) a 18 (dezoito) anos que estejam usufruindo do abrigamento como medida de proteÃÃo. Dois abrigos foram pesquisados, sendo um somente para meninos, de uma OrganizaÃÃo NÃo-Governamental e outro abrigo somente para meninas com natureza governamental na cidade de Fortaleza, CearÃ. Com o intuito de apreender os afetos dos sujeitos para com determinado ambiente foi utilizado o instrumento Mapa Afetivo, que contou com adaptaÃÃes feitas para esta pesquisa a fim de conhecer os afetos dos (as) adolescentes em relaÃÃo ao abrigo. Para aprofundar questÃes advindas dos Mapas e conhecer os afetos em relaÃÃo à famÃlia de origem utilizou-se a entrevista individual. O DiÃrio de Campo foi tambÃm utilizado e permitiu enriquecer o trabalho na coleta de dados. Os dados foram colhidos primeiramente por meio dos Mapas Afetivos e depois foram feitas as entrevistas. O DiÃrio de Campo recebeu registro desde o primeiro momento da coleta. Foi possÃvel perceber por meio destes instrumentos que a imagem de atraÃÃo preponderou entre os (as) adolescentes, tendo em vista as oportunidades que tiveram enquanto estavam abrigados. A proteÃÃo fornecida pela instituiÃÃo marcou uma nova imagem apreendida na anÃlise dos Mapas Afetivos, a de refÃgio, como derivaÃÃo da imagem contraste. Foi visto tambÃm que um longo perÃodo de abrigamento nÃo gera pertinÃncia, nÃo se associa a uma estima positiva pelo ambiente e ainda contribui para o desligamento entre jovens e famÃlias. Os (as) jovens nÃo queriam ficar indefinidamente na instituiÃÃo, queriam voltar para casa, pois o abrigo nÃo era sentido como casa. Vislumbrou-se que os laÃos afetivos entre adolescentes e famÃlia permanecem mesmo com a distÃncia do abrigamento e o que liga o (a) adolescente ao abrigo sÃo as oportunidades que oferece, assim como a proteÃÃo. Verificou-se que o abrigo exerce a funÃÃo de mediador enquanto protege o(a) adolescente e o(a) prepara para retornar à famÃlia e oferece atraÃÃes para o(a) jovem inserir-se no mundo de mais oportunidades. Exercendo esta funÃÃo de mediador, o abrigo contribui para a efetivaÃÃo do direito à convivÃncia familiar e comunitÃria. No entanto, a pesquisa aponta como sugestÃes que as instituiÃÃes de acolhimento respeitem os princÃpios da medida de proteÃÃo de abrigamento que tem carÃter excepcional, de Ãltima instÃncia e provisÃrio e que haja efetivaÃÃo dos direitos dos (as) adolescentes e de suas famÃlias para que estas possam dignamente cuidar e proteger seus adolescentes e oferecer-lhes o que precisam para crescimento pleno e potencializador; que nÃo seja mais necessÃrio ao sujeito estar em situaÃÃo de vulnerabilidade para ter acesso a direitos bÃsicos como à convivÃncia familiar e comunitÃria.
In the daily of many Brazilian families there are those which do not achieve for some reasons such, as the lack of attendance of the State, the protection of their children that go (in the end), sometimes, to a shelter institutions. In the shelter the adolescent needs to be the less possible time to return to itâs family and to the community conviviality if he or she can and want to. While they are in the institution, they are affected by emotions and feelings related to the own shelter and the origin family. There are bows of affection that connect and disconnect institutionalized adolescents to their family and to the shelter where they are settled. The purpose of this work is to research what affections are and if these affections effeet the right to a family and community conviviality, contributing and problematizing for the construction of measures for this. The public of this research is adolescent from 12 (twelve) to 18 (eighteen) years old that are enjoying the shelter as a protection measure. Two shelters were researched, one of them only for boys, of a No-government Organization and the other one only for girls with government nature in the city of Fortaleza, CearÃ. Intending to apprehend the adolescentsâaffects with this certain atmosphere an Affectionate Map instrument was used, adapted to this research in order to know the adolescentsâ affections related to the shelter. To deepen subjects from the Maps and knowing the affections related to the original family. It was used individual interview. A Diary of Field was also used and it allowed to enrich the work of the collection of data. First, the data were picked collected through the Affectionate Maps and then the interviews were made. The Diary of Field received registration since the very first moment of the collection afterwards. It was possible to notice through these instruments that the attraction image prevailed the adolescents considering the opportunities they had while sheltered. The protection supplied by the institution marked a new image apprehended in the analysis of the Affectionate Maps, the refuge one as derivation of the contrast image. It was also seen that a long period of shelter does not generate pertinence, he or she does not associate it to a positive steem by the atmosphere and it also contributes to a âseparationâ of the adolescents and their families. The adolescents did not to be indefinitely in the institution, they wanted to return to their home because the shelter was not felt as one by them. It was glimpsed that the affectionate bows between adolescents and their families are kept besides the distance. The opportunities and the protection offered by the shelter are what keeps the adolescents in. It was verified the shelter exercises a mediator function while it protects and prepares the adolescents returning to their family and also offers attractions to them to be inserted in a world of more opportunities. Practicing that mediator function, the shelter contributes to the effect of the right to the family and community conviviality. However, the research suggests that the reception institutions respect the beginnings of the measure of the shelter protection which has itâs exceptional character in last instance and temporary. It is necessary to effect the rights of the adolescents and their families for their worthily care and protection, offering them what is necessary for their powerful growth. It is no longer a need for the adolescents to be in a vulnerability situation to have access to basic rights such as a family and community conviviality.

Abstract:
The epilogue forms a coda to the previous chapter, which argues that contemporary homesteading in eastern Kentucky represents a serious form of activism and resistance to capitalist modernity, even though it does little to change the nature of capitalism itself. The epilogue suggests that homesteading should be seen as a form of anarchism, defined by James Scott as “cooperation without hierarchy or state rule.” The epilogue illustrates that anarchism is a foundational mode of human life--one that remains crucial today even as it is overlooked and eroded--and argues that the intentional practice of anarchism represents an important, capacity-building experience in “lived democracy,” which is too often lacking in our families, schools, churches, governments, and workplaces.

Abstract:
The District's Homeward DC strategic housing plan projected that, by 2020, homeless people would remain in shelter care for less than 60 days and that the number of shelter care families would drop from 1,200 families in 2014 to 435 in 2020 (a 65% reduction in five years). The strategic plan also involved closing a massive building complex that was the city's largest and oldest family homeless shelter. Closing the building required securing contracts and permits for the development of smaller homeless shelters in nearly every ward. Numerous delays in shelter development prevented the successful implementation of the District's strategic housing plan, and a local audit determined that the there was no oversight of the hotels housing the homeless. The delays and the local auditor's report suggested that CSOSA clients referred to the District's housing programs would have been unlikely to have received housing.

Abstract:
The aging population worldwide is growing very fast: 8.5% are aged 65 and over. This is expected to jump up to 17% by 2050, in Africa 4.5%, by 2030. The authors argue that the majority of elderly people depend on services provided by their families and religious institutions. Although the African culture encourages family members to respect and care for their elderly persons, this has not been the case due to economic challenges facing families. Many elderly men and women live in poverty. Women suffer more because of cultural beliefs and responsibilities to care for HIV AIDS orphaned grandchildren. The beliefs that associate elderly women with witchcraft lead to abuse and killing of innocent people. The authors highlight the challenges for religious institutions to give shelter and provide medical services. They struggle with limited funds to provide what elderly people need to protect their dignity. Elderly people need a lot of love and good care, and the lack of trained elderly care takers becomes a challenge.

Abstract:
Ongoing violent armed conflict in Jammu and Kashmir has resulted in the displacement of thousands of non-Kashmiri households since early 1998. Displacement increases the pressures on young children to work, possibly at the expense of their schooling, and also leads to under-nourishment and malnutrition, which has caused poor physical growth, inability to learn, and poor work performance. The “care and maintenance” assistance and aid received by displaced families was completely undependable, erratic, and inadequate, and given the opportunity, they would like to move out from the camp as quickly as possible. The displaced children have special vulnerabilities and require additional care and protection from disease, hunger, malnutrition, and abuse. There is urgent need to meet the physical needs of displaced families such as water, sanitation, healthcare, shelter, and psycho-social assistance. Education, including literacy training, primary, secondary, tertiary, vocational, life skills, informal, and other age-specific educational opportunities, is needed for young children.

Abstract:
In India, relatively few of those who are mentally ill live without their families. Yet some do, either because they are abandoned or because they flee. The Banyan is a non-governmental organization founded in 1993 to rescue poor, abandoned, homeless women with mental health issues. Since its inception, the Banyan has treated over two thousand persons with mental illness. They bring in women who are often too incapacitated to remember their own names, and they care for them and treat them and teach them to work. They provide food, clothing, shelter, medication, general healthcare, therapeutic activities, and occupational training–all for free. They have been able to return over a thousand of them to their natal homes. Its remarkable success arises in part from the way these families understand the problems created by illness: first and foremost as failure to work, not as an inner experience with symptoms of distressing voices. This chapter illustrates this process through the life of a woman with schizophrenia abandoned by her family.

Abstract:
This chapter takes up the history and development of standard “basic needs” budgets in the US. It explains in detail why the focus remains only on basic survival needs in the US context. It also points out how basic needs budgets are largely left to state governments and their agencies in order to develop family budget standards for their state in the absence of national action by the federal government. The chapter illustrates the overwhelming lack of economic security and social protection in the US, which caused many households to struggle in coping with incomes below the most basic of living standards. It mentions a new poverty line that comprises of an allowance for food, clothing, and shelter, which would be updated annually based on changes in the consumption of necessities by a reference group of families in the general population.

Abstract:
The Civil War exploded the patriarchal household in the South, the chief building block of the slave system. When enslaved people found shelter and protection under Union auspices, they built free households to serve as the foundation of a new world. Government officials, missionaries, and philanthropists assisted in this work, often unaware of their own biased suppositions and heedless of the aspirations that freed people themselves harbored. Federal military operations as well as Confederate guerrilla actions often disrupted this process wherein formerly enslaved people established a foothold in their home communities and in the nation. When superintendents of refugee camps imposed arbitrarily tight restrictions, residents likened their new conditions to slavery and protested with varying degrees of success. In the Loyal Border States, where the Union's need for fresh recruits overrode the slaveholders' claims for respect of their human property, families of black soldiers often paid a heavy price.

Abstract:
The topic of this paper could be irrelevant to well-developed and developing countries, however, it is quite challenging to educate students in privileged income developing countries in which all primary needs of education, health, shelter and basic needs (the base for Maslow’s hierarchy of needs) are taken care of by the government. This leaves little room for the young generation to aspire to. Insufficient internal drive to work hard or to prove oneself since all basic needs are taken care of and most of these students are coming from well-off families. This created a real dilemma for educators in how to motivate and encourage this generation to take education seriously and work hard towards their degree and appreciate this educational journey. This paper would discuss some of these motivational tools and a set of recommendations for the government on this issue.

Abstract:
As 2020 draws to a close, the economic devastation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic shows no sign of abating. Without urgent action, global poverty and inequality will deepen dramatically. Hundreds of millions of people have already lost their jobs, gone further into debt or skipped meals for months. Research by Oxfam and Development Pathways shows that over 2 billion people have had no support from their governments in their time of need. Our analysis shows that none of the social protection support to those who are unemployed, elderly people, children and families provided in low- and middle-income countries has been adequate to meet basic needs. 41% of that government support was only a one-off payment and almost all government support has now stopped. Decades of social policy focused on tiny levels of means-tested support have left most countries completely unprepared for the COVID-19 economic crisis. Yet, countries such as South Africa and Bolivia have shown that a universal approach to social protection is affordable, and that it has a profound impact on reducing inequality and protecting those who need it most. In addition to the full paper and executive summary, an Excel file with the data analysed by Oxfam and Development Pathways is available to download on this page, along with an annex on the crisis in Latin America and the Caribbean.
