Past Events Dec 09 Workshop on Climate, Peace and Security: How to Operationalize Principles on Environmental Peace-building Dec 09 Webinar | Pay Me Later: How the Timing of Wage Payments Impacts Worker Financial Health Post Teaser Text A new IPA study from Malawi found that allowing workers to defer receiving part of their wages significantly increases savings.Working with a large agricultural employer, researchers Lasse Brune, Jason Kerwin, and Eric Chyn found that deferred wage payments may help address self-control issues that could normally inhibit savings.A growing body of evidence suggests that changing the timing (smaller, more frequent payments versus larger, spread-out payments), and disbursement method of wage payments, has important impacts on financial health.Deferred wages may be an effective savings device for some, while others may require more frequent smaller payments to manage consumption needs. Dec 08 Webinar | Remittance Flows and the COVID-19 Pandemic Post Teaser Text Despite predictions, remittance flows declined only slightly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.In regions like Latin America and South Asia, remittance flows actually increased by 6.5% and 5.2%, respectively, despite high rates of global unemployment.Data from an IPA study in Nicaragua finds that formal remittances increased about 25% in the months following lockdown.This global rise in formal remittances could be attributed to a shift from informal remittance flows to formal and digital channels, the latter of which is easier to track; more liquidity from social protection programs; or an increase in altruism.
