1 Combating Poverty and Inequality: What role for social protection? Sarah Cook Director, UNRISD Asia Public Policy Forum, Jakarta 28-30, May 2013
2 Outline The rise of social protection Historical and comparative experiences Current issues and challenges Expectations of social protection Reducing poverty Supporting development Addressing inequalities Functions of social policy Major challenges to realising the promise of SP
3 A Quiet Revolution Dramatic expansion of social protection programmes since turn of century Estimated coverage 750 million - 1 billion people in the developing world (DFID, 2011). 2010: operated in 52 countries including 16 LICs; covering million households and 863 m individuals (Bender et al. 2013)
4 Selected programmes
5 Social protection programs in Africa Ethiopia: Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP). In 2008, it covered 8.2 million people (Ellis et al. 2009) Ghana: Livelihood Empowerment Against Poverty (LEAP). It now reaches 35,000 households (Nino-Zarazua et al., 2012). Malawi: Mchinji Social Transfer Scheme. Started in 2006, it covered 18,180 households and over 70,000 individuals by December 2009 (Huijbregts, 2009). Kenya: Orphans and Vulnerable Children Program (CT-OVC). Zambia: five pilot social transfer schemes were introduced starting with the Kalomo District Social Cash Transfer Scheme in 2004.
6 Social protection programmes Argentina universal children allowance and pension - benefits about 2.5 million people, mostly women (ILO 2011). Brazil s Bolsa Família currently covers about 13 million families. From 2011, Brasil Sem Miséria (Brazil without poverty) to reach 16 million people living on less than US$45 a month and eradicate extreme poverty by Cape Verde s social pension covers more than 90% of the target population. South Africa s Child Support Grant covers 7.5 million children. The Old Persons Grant covers almost 2.6 million people (ILO, 2011). China s rural cooperative medical program covers 800 million people. In 2009, it launched a pilot rural pension scheme that aims to cover 700 million rural people by India s National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme reaches 52.5 million households. Recently launched social insurance scheme Rastriya Swasthya Bima Yojana provided more than 24 million smart cards by 2011.

8 Goals / Impacts of social protection programs
9 Challenges to coverage ILO estimates that only 20 per cent of the working age population and their families worldwide have access to comprehensive social security. Between 20 and 60 per cent of the global population enjoy very basic coverage 40 per cent remain in situations of extreme vulnerability. Regional and between country variations are huge in low-income settings only formal sector workers (often only 5 to10 per cent of the workforce) are legally or effectively (ILO, 2011).
10 Challenges to social protection programmes Over a billion people are still living on less than US$1.25 a day 1.75 billion people experience multidimensional poverty with deprivations in heath, economic opportunities, education and living standards (UNDP, 2010). 925 million suffer from chronic hunger (FAO, 2010). 2.6 billion people do not have access to improved sanitation and 884 million people to improved sources of drinking water (UN-HABITAT, 2010). 828 million people live in slums with no or inadequate basic infrastructure such as, drains, piped water supplies and electricity or sewers (UN-HABITAT, 2010). 796 million adults are illiterate (UNESCO, 2011). 8.8 million children under the age of five die every year from largely preventable health problems (UNICEF, 2010; WHO, 2010). 150 million people suffer financial catastrophe annually, and 100 million are pushed below the poverty line when compelled to pay for health care (WHO, 2010).
11 Definitions of social protection social assistance: non-contributory transfers (conditional or unconditional; in cash or kind) to those eligible, on the basis eg of income, age, rights as citizens or residents. Includes work-related interventions such as public employment or food for work social insurance: generally employment-related programmes financed from contributions such as unemployment and health insurance and pensions; labour market policies that ensure basic standards and rights at work, including collective bargaining, minimum wage policies, unemployment insurance and prohibition of child labour.
12 Evolution of Policy Approaches (1) «Golden Age»: Social rights derived from labour market participation (2) Crises and Exclusive Growth: Safety nets and targeting poor (3) Search for Inclusive Development (Growth): Social rights derived from citizenship/human rights
13 Social protection approaches Risk management framework (WB) Rights-based approaches (UN, NGOs) Needs-based agenda (MDGs)
14 Social policy instruments: Human rights The Right to Social Security (Art. 22) The Right to Medical Care and Social Services (Art. 25) The Right to Education (Art. 26) ILO Conventions (No. 102); Recommendation on SPF Convention on the Rights of the Child CEDAW: Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women
15 Global Social Protection Floor

17 Social Policy approaches: Objectives, Instruments, Actors, Values Universal approach SP has multiple functions, including protection, promotion/development, redistribution Universalism Strong State Role Equality of outcomes Macro-impact of SP: economic stabilization social cohesion political legitimation/nation building (Post -) Washington Consensus social policy: SP is primarily a safety net, aims at poverty reduction and part of risk management tool kit Targeting Market and private actors Equality of opportunities Micro-impact of SP adverse incentives market distortions behaviour
18 Combating poverty and inequality What worked historically? What lessons for contemporary social protection? «Combating Poverty and Inequality : Structural change, social policy and politics», UNRISD Flagship Report 2010
19 Key questions What accounts for the persistence of poverty when concern for its reduction has been high on the policy agenda? Why have some countries been more successful than others in reducing poverty and inequality? How do current approaches to poverty reduction compare & contrast with the lessons of the past? Cases: Nordics, East Asia, Costa Rica, Mauritius, Kerala, Botswana, Brazil
20 Key findings suggest.. Significant reductions in poverty generally result not from policies aimed at poverty or targeting the poor per se but from a mix of policies that have wider economic, social and political objectives: employment and inequality matter as do active states and citizens, political and institutional arrangements Poverty is reduced & equity enhanced when economic and social policies, institutions and political arrangements are mutually supportive
21 Countries that have successfully reduced income poverty and improved social conditions on a significant scale have done so through comprehensive social protection programmes integrated into broader strategies of social policy and economic development. In contrast, countries that adopted social protection approaches emphasizing marketoriented instruments and narrowly targeted interventions have tended to be less effective in reducing poverty.
22 Inequality is rising
23 Inequalities are growing.. Graph here
24
25 Why care about inequality? High levels of inequality are an obstacle to poverty reduction Poverty is closely related to intersecting inequalities based on eg class, gender, ethnicity, locations... Intersecting inequalities reinforce each other and may be reinforced by market processes make it harder to incorporate the poor in the growth process; may encourage the emergence of institutions that lock the poor into poverty traps limit the size of the domestic market and prospects for sustained growth; may contribute to crime, social unrest and conflict and undermine social cohesion and stability
26 Social policy in development context Functions of transformative social policy Protection: protect people from income loss and costs associated with unemployment, pregnancy, sickness, chronic illness or disability, and old age; Production/accumulation: enhance the productive capacities of individuals, groups and communities; Distribution: create conditions for more equitable economic growth, secondary distribution taxation and redistribution Reproduction: reduce the burden on hhs / women of social reproduction including care-related work
27 New risks and challenges Social Policy evolves in response to challenges: 21st Century social policy in both developed and developing countries needs to confront new risks, challenges, interrelated crises and change processes: Globalisation / financialisation Economic crisis, volatility (Un)employment, informality, decent jobs Divergence wages, productivity, profits (functional income distribution) Inequalities and drivers: global / national; vertical / horizontal Demographic: youth, aging, mobility, families Multipolarity, regionalism, nationalism Climate / global (and local) environmental change (water/resources) Social and political consequences: citizen mobilisation, instability..
28 Global policy challenges New structure of risks generate instability; global consensus becomes more difficult; implications for national policy space Political/fiscal (and ideological) pressures to reduce welfare spending - austerity (increasing in developing countries); undermining principles of universalism and solidarity Globalisation/trade liberalisation creates challenges for national policy making; challenges to national authorities to maintain social stability and development Challenges increasingly global and require global solutions common but differentiated responsibilities National social policies as key to development / transformation What could a developmental welfare state look like to meet 21st century challenges?
