On May 17, USIP hosted a conversation on emerging research about the risks of unrest on the long road toward a more peaceful and just transition to sustainable economies in fragile contexts. Experts shared and discussed which approaches can more effectively manage these shocks that may disrupt labor markets in transitioning societies and what states can do to support their workers.
