World Bank Group Research Newsletter (February 2021) (English)

The February newsletter documents the costs of the pandemic and the policies that have attempted to shield populations from its worst impacts. Research highlights include estimates of years of lost life and additional years of extreme poverty, impacts on businesses, who can and who cannot work from home and implications for inequality, and policies to counteract the pandemic, including an assessment of Ethiopia’s social protection program and measures to support the financial sector, and more.
