Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2020

Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2020: Reversals of Fortune presents new estimates of COVID-19’s impacts on global poverty and shared prosperity. Harnessing fresh data from frontline surveys and economic simulations, it shows that pandemic-related job losses and deprivation worldwide are hitting already-poor and vulnerable people hard, while also partly changing the profile of global poverty by creating millions of “new poor.” Original analysis included in the report shows that the new poor are more urban, better educated, and less likely to work in agriculture than those living in extreme poverty before COVID-19. It also gives new estimates of the impact of conflict and climate change, and how they overlap. These results are important for targeting policies to safeguard lives and livelihoods. It shows how some countries are acting to reverse the crisis, protect the most vulnerable, and promote a resilient recovery.

PublicationsKnowledge for DevelopmentThe African Continental Free Trade Area

The African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) agreement will create the largest free-trade area in the world, measured by the number of countries participating. The pact will connect 1.3 billion people across 55 countries with a combined GDP valued at $3.4 trillion. It has the potential to lift 30 million people out of extreme poverty. But achieving its full potential will depend on putting in place significant policy reforms and trade facilitation measures.This report is designed to guide policy makers as they continue the process of negotiating and implementing the agreement. Using a global computable general equilibrium model and a microsimulation framework, it quantifies the long-term economic and distributional implications of AfCFTA. It also assesses the implications for economic growth, international trade, poverty, and employment and wages -for female as well as male workers. It spells out the short- and long-term implications for tariff revenue.

Economic and Distributional Effects

Going Viral

The economic impact of COVID-19 is unprecedented in size and scope. It has quickly evolved from a health emergency into an employment crisis. This book focuses on three important prepandemic trends observed in the region—namely, premature deindustrialization, servicification of the economy, and task automation—that were significantly changing the labor market landscape in the region and that have been accelerated by the crisis. Although there is still uncertainty about the economic impacts of Covid-19, policy makers need to start planning for a rapidly evolving future that will come sooner than expected.

Women and Trade

Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choice, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. Trade can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in lower-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is of upmost importance to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based responses and policies to ensure that trade contributes to enhancing opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been held back by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections between the economic roles women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analysis and new sex-disaggregated data, this report aims to advance understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which women can gain from trade.

Diversification and Cooperation in a Decarbonizing World

This report is the first comprehensive stock-taking of what the global low-carbon transition may mean for fossil fuel-dependent countries (FFDCs) and how they can manage it. FFDCs are most exposed to the impacts of global low-carbon transition and, at the same time, often least prepared to manage it. They depend either on the exports of oil, gas, or coal, or on the use of carbon-intensive infrastructure (e.g., refineries, petrochemicals, coal power plants), or both.

DIVERSIFICATION AND COOPERATION IN A DECARBONIZING WORLD

T his book is the first stocktaking of what the decarbonization of

the world economy means for fossil fuel–dependent countries.

These countries are the most exposed to the impacts of global

climate policies and, at the same time, are often unprepared to

manage them. They depend on the export of oil, gas, or coal; the use

of carbon-intensive infrastructure (for example, refineries, petro-

chemicals, and coal power plants); or both. Fossil fuel–dependent

countries face financial, fiscal, and macro-structural risks from the

transition of the global economy away from carbon-intensive fuels

and the value chains based on them. This book focuses on managing

these transition risks and harnessing related opportunities.

Diversification and Cooperation in a Decarbonizing World identi-

fies multiple strategies that fossil fuel–dependent countries can

pursue to navigate the turbulent waters of a low-carbon transition.

The policy and investment choices to be made in the next decade will

determine these countries’ degree of exposure and overall resilience.

Abandoning their comfort zones and developing completely new

skills and capabilities in a time frame consistent with the Paris

Agreement on climate change is a daunting challenge and requires

long-term revenue visibility and consistent policy leadership. This

book proposes a constructive framework for climate strategies for

fossil fuel–dependent countries based on new approaches to diversi-

fication and international climate cooperation. Climate policy leaders

share responsibility for creating room for all countries to contribute

to the goals of the Paris Agreement, taking into account the specific

vulnerabilities and opportunities each country faces.

Making It Big

Economic and social progress requires a diverse ecosystem of firms that play complementary roles. Making It Big: Why Developing Countries Need More Large Firms constitutes one of the most up-to-date assessments of how large firms are created in low- and middle-income countries and their role in development. It argues that large firms advance a range of development objectives in ways that other firms do not: large firms are more likely to innovate, export, and offer training and are more likely to adopt international standards of quality, among other contributions.

Sourcebook on the Foundations of Social Protection Delivery Systems

This sourcebook synthesizes real-world experiences and lessons learned of social protection delivery systems from around the world, with a particular focus on social and labor benefits and services. It takes a practical approach, seeking to address concrete “how-to” questions, including: How do countries deliver social protection benefits and services? How do they do so effectively and efficiently? How do they ensure dynamic inclusion, especially for the most vulnerable and needy? How do they promote better coordination and integration—not only among social protection programs but also with programs in other parts of government? How can they meet the needs of their intended populations and provide a better client experience?

The Sourcebook on the Foundations of Social Protection Delivery Systems synthesizes real-world experiences and lessons learned of social protection delivery systems from around the globe. It takes a broad view of social protection, covering various intended populations such as poor or low-income families, unemployed workers, persons with disabilities, and individuals facing social risks. It discusses many types of interventions that governments provide to individuals, families, or households, including categorical programs, poverty-targeted programs, labor benefits and services, disability benefits and services, and social services.

The Sourcebook seeks to address concrete “how-to” questions, including:

How do countries deliver social protection benefits and services? How do they do so effectively and efficiently? How do they ensure dynamic inclusion, especially for the most vulnerable and needy? How do they promote better coordination and integration—not only among social protection

programs but also among programs in other parts of government? How can they meet the needs of their intended populations and provide a better client

experience?

The delivery systems framework elaborates on the key elements of that operating environment. The framework is anchored in core implementation phases along the delivery chain. Key actors, including people and institutions, interact all along that delivery chain. Those interactions are facilitated by communications, information systems, and technology. This framework can apply to the delivery of one or many programs and to the delivery of adaptive social protection.

The Sourcebook structures itself around eight key principles that can frame the delivery systems mind-set:

1. There is no single blueprint for delivery systems, but there are commonalities, and those common elements constitute the core of the delivery systems framework.

2. Quality of implementation matters, and weaknesses in any of the core elements will negatively affect the entire system, reducing the impacts of the program(s) they support.

3. Delivery systems evolve over time, in a nonlinear fashion, and their starting points matter.4. Efforts should be made to “keep it simple” and to “do simple well,” from the start.5. The “first mile”—people’s direct interface with administrative functions—is often the weakest

link in the delivery chain; improving it may take systemic change but will greatly improve overall efficiencies and mitigate the risk of failures on the frontlines.

6. Social protection programs do not operate in a vacuum, and thus their delivery systems should not be developed in silos; synergies across institutions and information systems are possible and can improve program outcomes.

7. Social protection delivery systems can contribute more broadly to government’s ability to serve other sectors, such as health insurance subsidies, scholarships, social energy tariffs, housing benefits, and legal services.

8. The dual challenges of inclusion and coordination are pervasive and perennial and encourage the continuous improvement of delivery systems, through a dynamic, integrated, and human-centered approach.
