Double Jeopardy: Adaptive Social Protection for Venezuelans in Peru during the Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, many refugees and migrants were excluded from otherwise generous government emergency cash transfer programs. What were the consequences of this exclusion, and what does it reveal about designing adaptive social protection for forcibly displaced populations? This randomized study evaluates the impact of a one-time cash transfer to Venezuelan forced migrants in Peru. Using a baseline survey and follow-ups at one, thre…

The Moral Ecology of Unstructured Speaking on Study Abroad: Finding Speaking Opportunities
This report describes the moral phenomena that students in an intensive Arabic study abroad program encountered as they tried to find speaking opportunities for themselves outside of institutional arrangements.

They found themselves obliged to consider values such as decisiveness, independence, and fairness as …
Inequality in Chile’s Philanthropic Ecosystem: Evidence and Implications
Philanthropy seeks to address deep-rooted social issues and assume responsibility for the creation of public goods not provided by the public sector-and in this way help reduce inequality.

In both cases, inequality, defined as asymmetries of resources and power, plays a cr…

Public opposition to immigration is widespread and politically important. Yet our understanding of this phenomenon has suffered from a serious methodological shortcoming: it often employs aggregate measures of attitudes towards immigrants, which do not distinguish between different migrant groups. Few studies so far examine whether public preferences apply equally to all types of immigrants, or if public opinion distinguishes between social and e…

While terms such as solidarity and communitas are invoked, sometimes interchangeably, to characterize the feeling of togetherness supporting mutual aid during the emergency phase of disasters, they are not identical phenomena. This article examines the 2017 Peruvian huiaco disaster to understand the role communitas and reciprocity play in the mobilization of emergency aid and the growing sense of togetherness buttressing its distribution. Via an …
The migration journey and mental health: Evidence from Venezuelan forced migration
Using migration of Venezuelans to Peru as a case example, we surveyed migrants on mental health and migration factors at the Ecuador-Peru border.• Pre-migration: No factors associated with anxiety; choosing Peru for safety or expected respect for Venezuelans increased odds of depression.• Migration: Walking and education increased odds of anxiety; choosing Peru decreased odds of anxiety; being pregnant increased odds of depression.•Link between m…
