  1. Great read. Direct cash transfers make SUCH a positive difference. I’ve been donating to GiveDirectly who offers the same thing for impoverished areas abroad and the tangible improvements to peoples’ lives are incredible. Please consider donating to GiveDirectly or similar if you have the means.

  2. 🚀 Wow, look at that! The NY Fed's cash transfers are skyrocketing in 2025! But wait, what's that? A "403 Forbidden" error? 🤔 Seems like even the info about the cash transfers is on a need-to-know basis. Maybe the Fed just forgot to pay their nginx hosting bill again! 😂💸

  6. Gutierrez's experience highlights the profound impact of regular cash flow. "I had that financial stability... those $500 stretched a long way," she said. The dialogue around cash support continues, emphasizing the dignity it brings to families. #CashTransfers #PovertyReduction

  7. 3 billion people cannot afford a healthy diet. #CashTransfers may provide dietary energy & enhance the #nutrition of diets among low-income #consumers without leading to dietary excesses. Also #subsidies for food like #pulses & nuts show promise: doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-009 #diets

  8. #CashTransfers to poor households in #Africa would raise #consumers’ total expenditures without changing #prices. More households would consume enough macro- & #micronutrients, without problems of over-consumption: doi.org/10.1038/s43016-024-009 #poverty #foodsecurity #nutrition #diets

  9. New study gave $7,500 to 50 unhoused people.

    Guess what?

    "They did not spend more money on alcohol or drugs, contrary to what people believe, and instead they spent the money on rent, food, housing, transit, furniture, a used car, clothes. It's entirely the opposite of what people think they're going to do with the money."

    Congrats to my UBC colleague Jiaying Zhao on this study.

  10. #introduction

    I'm a #socialprotection specialist working for Women in Informal Employment: Globalizing and Organizing (WIEGO), a global network dedicated to improving the lives of the working poor in the informal economy through research, organizing and advocacy.

    I'm interested in all aspects of #socialpolicy, #labourmarkets #taxes, #socialsecurity and #cashtransfers, in particular how to expand coverage in contexts of #informality
