Research project title: Risk Analysis of Pension Systems for Survivors (Orphans and Widows)

Project description: By building a data base of existing financial mechanisms, we aim to identify ways to improve social security systems for survivors - orphans and widows. The initial aim is to better capture the current social security landscape, so that sensible recommendations can be made for policymakers.
