The document titled 'Household Shocks, Vulnerability and Household Finances' by Hazel Malapit and Maria S. Floro examines the financial coping strategies of urban low-income households in the Philippines and Thailand. It highlights how these households, particularly those engaged in informal sector work, face multiple risks such as health shocks and income variability. The study utilizes survey data to analyze the use of borrowing, asset pawning, and asset sales as mechanisms to manage financial distress. Key findings indicate that borrowing and pawning are significant coping strategies correlated with subjective financial shocks, while asset sales do not serve a similar purpose. Gender differences in financial strategies are also explored, revealing that women are more likely to engage in borrowing and pawning compared to men.
