Welcome to Survey & Beyond: The Data Collection Podcast, where we connect with professionals and organizations involved in data collection. Listen in as we discuss innovative methods and tools that can significantly enhance data quality and security, demystify complex data collection concepts, and highlight the many ways that organizations today are involved in data collection–sometimes, without even calling it “data collection.” With your host, Marta Costa, we feature in-depth interviews with experts in international development, healthcare, agriculture, and supply chain research, foregrounding real-life experiences, challenges, and strategies for improving data collection.

In each episode, we talk with inspiring scientists, thinkers, and other self-actualized individuals who will give you a greater understanding of yourself, others, and the world we live in. Scott Barry Kaufman explores the depths of human potential and tries to get a glimpse into human possibility in every episode.

Legal Educational Discussion

Workfare schemes, designed as an alternative to more traditional social benefit programmes, are increasingly popular in developing countries. India’s National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (NREGS), one of the world’s largest workfare programmes, has been celebrated for leading to increased wages in rural areas. Yet research by Bryce Millet Steinberg and Manisha Shah finds that the programme has unintended consequences for children. In this VoxDevTalk, Steinberg discusses how the research team used multiple household surveys to uncover how the scheme’s promise of wages leads to increased labour demand. In turn, this increases the opportunity cost of remaining in school, with particularly large consequences for adolescents. These findings suggest the value of pairing workfare programmes with complementary policies to incentivise human capital investment.
