The book is a comprehensive resource for public policymakers addressing the economic and fiscal consequences of the crisis. It is intended to bridge the gap between studies focused on the epidemic's impact on specific sectors, such as health and education, on the one hand, and broad national analyses on the other. Topics include welfare issues stemming from increased mortality rates and the effect of the epidemic at both microeconomic and the macroeconomic levels on economic growth and investment; education and accumulation of human capital; poverty and inequality; and public services, government finance, social security, and the health sector. The book gathers contributions by experts from many international organizations that are key players in the fight against HIV/AIDS and other institutions concerned with its social and economic consequences.
