Enjoy our latest VoxDevLits!
VoxDev is off this week, enjoy our VoxDevLits in the meantime!
The VoxDev team took a break this week, so we’ve recapped some of the highlights from 2026 at VoxDev.
We are really proud of our growing library of living literature reviews. We now have 24 VoxDevLits on everything from education technology to air pollution!
Education technology (EdTech) has expanded rapidly across low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), yet the evidence from the past two decades shows that technology itself is not typically an education input. Read here.
International migration is one of the most powerful tools available for poverty reduction and economic development. Read here.
Industrialisation has historically been central to economic development, driving productivity growth, structural transformation, and the creation of stable wage employment for workers with limited formal education. Read here.
Developing countries face the joint challenges of reducing poverty and adapting to a changing climate, while in some cases also needing to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Read here.
Technology improvement is central to development. In developing countries, this often means adopting and adapting technologies from the frontier rather than inventing new ones. Read here.
Air pollution is the world’s leading environmental health risk, and its burden falls overwhelmingly on low- and middle-income countries where populations are most exposed and least able to protect themselves. Read here.
See you next week, when we return to our regular schedule.
