Abstract
This note assesses the effects of the
2022 floods on human capital in Pakistan. It focuses on the
results of a Pakistan-wide phone survey that gathered
information on the experiences of approximately 4,000
families with children ages 3 to 17. The survey was
originally designed to track children’s return to school
after school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the
team adapted the survey methodology to ensure that it could
better document and understand the challenges families with
children are facing during the 2022 floods and that the
country is experiencing as it seeks to protect and rebuild
human capital for the future.
