Human Development and Social Protection

Human development and social protection remain a core focus in CPD’s research portfolio. CPD has been undertaking research on these themes both independently and in collaboration with other relevant organisations and development partners. Some of the recent studies carried out by CPD in this area focused on such issues as gender dimension of trade liberalisation in Bangladesh, measuring economic impact of spousal violence, macroeconomic implications of social safety nets, and allocation of national budget for children.
