本文汇总了来自17个发展中国家的定性实地研究，描述了危机的影响，并分析了人们如何应对2008-2011年的粮食，燃料和金融危机。这项研究揭示了表面上的复原力背后的重大困难，广泛报道了粮食不安全，债务，资产损失，压力以及犯罪和社区凝聚力恶化。在影响的分布和应对反应方面存在着重大的性别和年龄差异，而妇女往往起到减震器的作用。较常见的援助来源是家庭、朋友、社区和宗教组织，正式的社会保障和资金不太重要。随着危机的加深，穷人传统的非正式安全网已经枯竭，这表明需要有更好的正式制度来应对未来的冲击。
Abstract This article aggregates qualitative field research from sites in 17 developing countries to describe crisis impacts and analyse how people coped with the food, fuel, and financial crises during 2008–2011. The research uncovered significant hardships behind the apparent resilience, with widespread reports of food insecurity, debt, asset loss, stress, and worsening crime and community cohesion. There were important gender and age differences in the distribution of impacts and coping responses, with women often acting as shock absorbers. The more common sources of assistance were family, friends, community-based and religious organisations with formal social protection and finance less important. The traditional informal safety nets of the poor became depleted as the crisis deepened, pointing to the need for better formal systems for coping with future shocks.
