Welcome to our expert series on the post-COVID reset. That is, a reset along a more inclusive path. The series introduces listeners to knowledge producers and decision makers as they debate concrete policy options for such a recovery and take stock of the data that could (and should) inform the policy shifts.
This is a two-part podcast on the Australia's Coronavirus Supplement – an unconditional transfer trial meant to help contain the socio-economic damage brought about by COVID-19.
Our expert is Elise Klein, Senior Lecturer of Public Policy at the Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National University. Amongst her areas of expertise are social security, unconditionality, and women’s economic security. Her recent research focused on the Australian experiment and the impact on its recipients.
The host is John Crowley, UNESCO's Chief of Research, Policy and Foresight.
