Resumen
Descripción
Risk and uncertainty are on the rise,
and countries across Europe and Central Asia (ECA) are not
immune from it. The region is being hit by crises,
conflicts, and continued uncertainty that are negatively
affecting people’s livelihoods in the short term and
prosperity in the long term. Then COVID-19 hit, inflicting
massive harm on people’s wellbeing, livelihoods, and human
capital. Lockdowns prevented people from working, school
closures prevented students from learning, and overwhelmed
hospitals had to defer important treatments. This report
explores how to strengthen the resilience of health,
education, and social protection systems to better protect
people’s human capital from the long-term effects of
recurrent shocks and crises.
