This literature review offers a comprehensive and up-to-date overview of existing knowledge on the topic and looks into an array of potential avenues for solutions from the literature that could be relevant for law and policy at the national and sub-national levels.
The report identifies four main recommendation topics commonly identifies in the literature that could be relevant to law and policy, including:
