Although based in the New York, USA - Martin’s work takes him to far flung corners of the world from Oxford, London, to the Far East, Europe and other developing economies. Here’s where you can keep up to date with all the latest news from Martin and find out what interesting new project he’s working on.
The UNCDF have commissioned Martin to provide consultancy and research advice to countries in the Asia and Pacific Region on social protection systems. The work begins in the summer of 2011 and is expected to take Martin to Nepal to assist in the design and implementation of their social pension system.
The World Bank have asked Martin to work with them and the Economic Policy Unit in the Malaysian Prime Minister’s Department to profile poverty among elderly Malaysians and to assist in the development of a potential new system of social pensions for Malaysia.
The project begins in April 2011 and involves in-depth analysis of data from the Household Income Survey in Malaysia for 2009. Martin will be joining World Bank and EPU colleagues for high level policy discussion and workshops in Kuala Lumpur.
While working with Department for Work and Pensions Martin’s report on the Child Poverty Pilots for the Child Poverty Unit has recently been published. The Interim Synthesis Report outlines the approach of the Pilots and summarises emerging evidence from them.
