Human vulnerability

• Human vulnerability

– Less capabilities (education, health, standard of living, voice) – Restriction on choices and freedoms – Structural (societal barriers: prejudices, norms etc) – Accumulated through the life cycle

• Poverty (deprivations) ≠ vulnerability

(defenselessness and insecurity); but close

• Also communities and countries can be vulnrable

in HD terms

Shocks and disadvantage take many forms

Capital Mobility and the Incidence of Banking Crisis (1800-2010)

Vulnerability has many faces

Income and multidimensional poverty, world

Building human resilience

– Bouncing back and moving on

• Policies to build human resilience
