The world is witnessing the paradox of simultaneous increase in income and insecurity. According to available data, global average per capita income has increased in recent decades, while at the same time actual and perceived insecurity has also increased. This paradox is true for both developed and developing countries. However, the concrete form and causes of insecurity differs across these two groups of countries. To the extent that income levels in many developing countries are very low, economic insecurity in these countries takes a starker and chronic form. In Financing for Overcoming Economic Insecurity, leading experts examine the causes and consequences of rising economic insecurity and policy measures that can be adopted to overcome insecurity. The volume contains papers addressing issues of economic insecurity pertaining to both developed and developing countries and caused by both economic factors and natural hazards. It also discusses the issues at both macro and micro levels. The volume’s focus on policy measures, such as redistribution and reinvestment of profit income in developed countries and imposition of capital control and promotion of micro insurance in developing countries, should be of much help to policymakers as well as researchers. 2022-10-14T14:53:50Z 2022-10-14T14:53:50Z 2015 book ONIX_20221014_9781849665797_120 9781849665797 9781849665780 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58789 eng The United Nations Series on Development application/pdf Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International 9781849665780.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781472544421 10.5040/9781472544421 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781849665797 9781849665780 Bloomsbury Academic 256 London open access
