Towards shock-responsive social protection: lessons from the COVID-19 response in Pakistan: Estimate from the microsimulation

March 2021

This report presents the methodology and results of a microsimulation based on a partial equilibrium modelling framework using nationally representative household-level data for Pakistan. The findings include an estimate of the potential impact of COVID-19 on poverty in the country based on a model that assumes heterogeneity of impact across individuals and households depending on the type and sector of employment.
