This typology takes stock of the growing body of work on real-time welfare monitoring, bringing together existing resources and lessons learned in one place. It aims to offer an overarching roadmap to help teams navigate different approaches and identify the best fit for answering a specific question in a given context. The “best fit” approach may differ across settings depending on a country’s data ecosystem and implementation constraints. This typology systematizes the decision-making process by laying out the various advantages, disadvantages, underlying data requirements, and assumptions of different approaches. While primarily drawing the Poverty and Equity GP’s work, the typology aims to contextualize real-time monitoring within a broader body of research and towards recent innovations in the field.en-USCC BY-NC 3.0 IGOPOVERTY AND FISCAL, FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC CRISISPOVERTY AND JOBS DIAGNOSTICSTYPE OF BENEFITSTYPES OF BENEFICIARIESSOCIAL PROTECTION AND GROWTHJOBSJOBS AND POVERTYPOVERTYSHOCKS AND VULNERABILITY TO POVERTYSOCIAL ASSISTANCEINCLUSIVE GROWTHECONOMIC GROWTHJOBS AND DEVELOPMENTMARKETS AND INSTITUTIONS FOR POVERTY REDUCTION AND SHARED PROSPERITYSOCIAL PROTECTION AND LABORNO POVERTYSDG 1DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTHSDG 8ReportWorld Bank10.1596/42120
