Nepal - Household Risk and Vulnerability Survey, Full Panel 2016-2018

The objective of the three-year Nepal Household Risk and Vulnerability panel survey is to provide the Government of Nepal with empirical evidence on the patterns of exposure to shocks at the household level and on the vulnerability of households' welfare to these shocks. It covers 6,000 households and 400 communities in non-metropolitan areas of Nepal. The survey helps address the following research questions:- What significant adverse events (both anticipated and unanticipated) are faced by households during a given year?- What strategies do households employ, and what systems of informal support do they rely on (ex-ante and ex-post) to cope with these events?- How are households' short- and medium-term welfare affected by these events?- What formal government assistance do households receive? Is it sufficient to help them cope?
