Episode description

A large majority of people in Vanuatu report having others they can count on in times of health or financial need. The number has dropped, however, by roughly 10% over the 10-year period from 2010-2020, signaling a loss in traditional social security and weakening kinship networks. Despite the trend, a majority of people still enjoy that safety net in Vanuatu today as evidenced in this episode.

Episode 27 is the final episode and it underscores the importance of people maintaining vast social networks that support them in times of need.
