ABSTRACT

While utilizing the latest round of a household survey of Bangladesh, this paper used a vulnerability index to understand household welfare in case of shocks, uncertainty, or unforeseen events like COVID-19. According to our analysis, environmentally exposed regions are found to be more vulnerable to economic shock, and certain occupational groups are expected to experience higher incidences of poverty and vulnerability. In addition, demographic features of households can be crucial in vulnerability analysis. Our analysis therefore expects to provide crucial policy guidelines for identifying the vulnerable groups as well as for redesigning poverty reduction strategies.

摘要

在利用孟加拉国最新一轮的家庭调查时，本文使用脆弱性指数来了解在发生冲击、不确定性或 COVID-19 等不可预见事件时的家庭福利。根据我们的分析，环境暴露地区更容易受到经济冲击，某些职业群体预计会经历更高的贫困和脆弱性。此外，家庭的人口特征在脆弱性分析中可能是至关重要的。因此，我们的分析有望为识别弱势群体以及重新设计减贫战略提供重要的政策指导。
