S. Naveed, A. I. Malik, et al.
This study investigates the effectiveness of public versus private social safety nets in supporting rural households in Pakistan during economic shocks. Conducted by Samina Naveed, Ayesha Imran Malik, and Iftikhar Hussain Adil, the findings reveal that while neither type of safety net significantly shields households from harsh coping strategies, public nets may provide better protection against switching to cheaper food options.
