A low-tech intervention can help migrant families survive the ‘lean season’

News - public release Created on 07 Oct 2026 Yale University

In the latest in a series of studies devising solutions to seasonal poverty, Yale’s Mushfiq Mobarak provided small loans to Nepali families in which one member migrated for work during the lean season. The intervention mitigated food insecurity, promoted agricultural investment, and allowed family members to access their migrant’s income in the absence of cross-border electronic remittance technologies.
