Book Description
In partnership with the Regional Office for the Near East and North Africa (NENA) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, the International Policy Centre for Inclusive Growth (IPC-IG) has developed a toolkit with a new step-by-step methodology to calculate the extent to which a population is covered against the risks that affect them throughout their life cycle (Bacil et al. 2020). This approach focuses on identifying different social groups and the risks to which each of them is vulnerable, defining a coverage function for each risk that enables a calculation of how much an intervention is capable of protecting vulnerable people against said risk. Thus, it goes beyond the usual approaches to measuring social protection coverage, which tend to equate programme participation with social protection coverage.

Towards Universal Social Protection
Author: Simone Cecchini
Publisher: UN
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 478
Book Description
This book reflects on the public policies, programmes and regulatory frameworks that are taking a rights-based approach to expanding social protection coverage and benefits in Latin America, with a view to achieving universal coverage. Its discussion of the policy tools and programmes pursued in the region aims to provide the reader with technical and programmatic insights for assembling and coordinating public policies within consistent and sustainable social protection systems. The combination of normative orientations and stock of technical knowledge, together with advances regarding the rights-based approach to social protection within a life cycle framework, afford the reader not only a tool box of specific social protection instruments, but also an in-depth examination of related political economy aspects.

Key Policies for Addressing the Social Determinants of Health and Health Inequities
Author: Matthew Saunders
Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9289052651
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
Evidence indicates that actions within four main themes (early child development fair employment and decent work social protection and the living environment) are likely to have the greatest impact on the social determinants of health and health inequities. A systematic search and analysis of recommendations and policy guidelines from intergovernmental organizations and international bodies identified practical policy options for action on social determinants within these four themes. Policy options focused on early childhood education and care; child poverty; investment strategies for an inclusive economy; active labour market programmes; working conditions; social cash transfers; affordable housing; and planning and regulatory mechanisms to improve air quality and mitigate climate change. Applying combinations of these policy options alongside effective governance for health equity should enable WHO European Region Member States to reduce health inequities and synergize efforts to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.

The State of Social Safety Nets 2018
Author: The World Bank
Publisher: World Bank Publications
ISBN: 1464812551
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 264
Book Description
The State of Social Safety Nets 2018 Report examines global trends in the social safety net/social assistance coverage, spending, and program performance based on the World Bank Atlas of Social Protection Indicators of Resilience and Equity (ASPIRE) updated database. The report documents the main social safety net programs that exist globally and their use to alleviate poverty and to build shared prosperity. The 2018 report expands on the 2015 edition, both in administrative and household survey data coverage. A distinct mark of this report is that, for the first time, it tells the story of what happens with SSN/SA programs spending and coverage over time, when the data allow us to do so. This 2018 edition also features two special themes †“ Social Assistance and Ageing, focusing on the role of old-age social pensions, and Adaptive Social Protection, focusing on what makes SSN systems/programs adaptive to various shocks.

Social protection coverage – Sudan case study
Author: Fabianna Bacil
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251333025
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
This research report presents a case study of the application of the proposed methodology to Sudan using data captured by the 2014-2015 National Household Budget and Poverty Survey (NHBS). The application of the methodology proposed in the toolkit requires the identification of individuals’ characteristics to fit them into specific social groups, and the risks to which each of these categories is exposed. This survey enables the identification of different social groups according to the age, gender and place of residence of the respondents, as well as six risks: a child being out of school, food insecurity, unemployment, insufficient earnings, crop failure and livestock issues, and natural disaster. In conclusion, this study indicates a significant social protection coverage gap in Sudan. Government social protection programmes reach less than 3 per cent of women and men in rural and urban areas. Also government provision of formal social protection makes the smallest contribution to mitigating risks (0.4 per cent) as compared to other sources of protection. In other words, the benefits currently provided by the government are insufficient to address the risks that affect the population throughout the life cycle, hampering people’s livelihoods and the country’s development.
