Policy Brief: Delivering income and employment support in times of COVID-19: Integrating cash transfers with active labour market policies
This brief focuses on the important role that active labour market policies (ALMPs) can play within this overarching strategy if they are integrated into income support measures. ALMPs include employment subsidies, start-up incentives, public employment programmes, labour market services, and training programmes. The brief discusses how ALMPs and income support can come together to support workers in the face of the pandemic and sustainably improve their employment and life trajectories, particularly in emerging and developing countries.
