Rethinking social assistance amid the Covid‐19 pandemic
In the face of increased uncertainty and a slow economic recovery, it is crucial to protect populations from the effects of systemic crises beyond the narrow goal of poverty reduction.

This study evaluates the potential impact of social assist…
Inequality and the Socioeconomic Dimensions of Mobility in Protests

It argues that the announced increases in transport and fuel costs in Chile and Ecuador exposed obstacles to spatial and social mobility and existi…

Yet, their inclusion has not necessarily resulted in more equal gender outcomes in employment. This paper addresses the question: to what extent has targeted social protection supported women in creating a more level playing field in the labour market? Two cities in the south of Ecuado…
