Social protection in the developing world
Abstract: 'Social protection programmes have become increasingly widespread in low- and middle-income countries, with their own distinct characteristics to match the environments in which they are operating. This paper reviews the growing literature on the design and impact of these programs. We review how to identify potential beneficiaries given the large informal sector, the design and implementation of redistribution and income support programmes, and the challenges and potential of social insurance. We use our frameworks as a guide for consolidating and organising the existing literature, and also to highlight areas and questions for future research.'
