4 Agenda Introduction Analytical framework Modelling framework Results Conclusions and recommendations

5 Introduction Research objective: Contribute to the evidence on the links between social protection investments and socio-economic development in Cambodia Estimate rates of return of investments in social protection Definition: Rate of return is the relation between net benefits (between baseline and policy scenario x) and the costs of the investment

6 Introduction Call for proposals: Fall 2011 Start project: January 2012 Final report: September 2012 Literature review on international evidence Stakeholder interviews Government agencies, local and international organizations and NGOs Quantitative analysis 2 rounds of peer reviews EPRI (South Africa), IDS (UK), NATSEM (Australia), TEAGSAC (Ireland), IRC (Florence), UNICEF-New York, and other independent researchers.

7 Agenda Introduction Analytical framework Modelling framework Results Conclusions and recommendations

8 Analytical framework Social protection Public and private interventions aimed at preventing, reducing and eliminating socio economic vulnerabilities. In-kind and cash transfers (contributory and non-contributory) Reduce poverty and redistribute, and help households to manage risks Socio-economic development Enhance and sustain productive capacity Promote human development

9 Analytical framework Social protection Direct effects Poverty and inequality Various instruments Behavioural effects Education Health Human capital Household consumption Child wellbeing Livelihoods and productive investments Physical capital Spillovers and local multiplier Labour Labour productivity Return Financing Economic performance

10 International Evidence Direct effects (distribution) Poverty reduction (headcount): 12% (South Africa), 18% (Brazil) Poverty reduction (gap): 20% (Mexico), 47% (South Africa) Inequality decline (Gini): 1% (Brazil), 3% (South Africa) References: Barrientos (2005), Arnold et al (2011), Samson et al (2004) [...] people who have access to a basic set of goods, services, and transfers are lifted out of poverty or vulnerability and can become more productive contributors to the economy (Cichon et al, 2011: 5).

11 International Evidence Behavioural effects (human capital) Health: health visits (18% increment in Mexico), child immunisation (more than 45% increment in Bangladesh), nutrition (0.17 Kg. Gain in children weight in Bangladesh). Education: school enrolment (5%, 10%, 11% increase in Malawi, Pakistan and Ecuador, respectively), attendance (63% reduction in drop out in Brazil). References: Barrientos and Scott (2008), Arnold et al (2011), Schady and Araujo (2006) Child wellbeing Child poverty (25%, 40% reduction in Poland and Hungary, respectively), cognitive development (0.25 standard deviations improvement in Ecuador) References: Barrientos and DeJong (2006), Paxson and Schady (2008)

12 International Evidence Behavioural effects (livelihoods) Productive investments (6%, 8% increment in livestock in Paraguay and Ethiopia, respectively). Household income multiplier ( , 2 in Mexico and Bolivia, respectively). References: Arnold et al (2011), Barrientos and Sabatés-Wheeler (2009) Behavioural effects (labour) Labour participation (2.6 percentage points, 11% increment in Brazil and South Africa, respectively). Child work (11%, 17%, 26% reduction in Cambodia, Ecuador and Brazil, respectively). References: Arnold et al (2011), Schady and Araujo (2006)

13 International Evidence Spillovers and local multipliers Demonstration effects (increasing school enrolment of children from non-beneficiaries households in Mexico). Third party investment (local business increase their sales in Malawi and Brazil) Non-beneficiaries household income (12% difference in Mexico) Regional multiplier (2.2, 2.4, 2.6 in Ecuador, Malawi and Zimbawe, respectively). References: Barrientos and Sabatés-Wheeler (2009), Miller (2011), Hanlon et al (2010), Staunton (2011), Davies and Davey (2007), Woller and Parsons (2002),

14 Economic returns (mechanisms) Institutional changes: Poverty reduction and inequality decline Social cohesion and peace Human capital Higher investments on health and education Child wellbeing Productive capacity Fostering productive investments, and protect assets Reducing liquidity constrains and covers transportation costs Consumption Enhancing local demand

15 Financial Affordability Basic social protection: 4% - 10% of GDP (ILO) Cambodia (NSPS): 4% - 7% (excluding health sector) of GDP in 2012 (Costing study) Fiscal space (*), political will (NSPS) and policy priorities (human capital and productive capacity) Affordability is at the end an issue of political choice. Social protection is an investment in both social/human and economic development. Economic growth is the easiest way to finance social protection.

16 Agenda Introduction Analytical framework Modelling framework Results Conclusions and recommendations

33 Dynamic microsimulation model Joint policy scenario (life-cycle): Cash transfers (poor children in rural areas, up to 2 per household) Social pensions (poor elderly in rural areas) Scholarships (poor children in rural areas, lower secondary) PWP (poor households in rural areas) Benefits: difference between policy and base line scenarios. Three modules (sub-models): demography, human capital accumulation and household consumption.

34 Agenda Introduction Analytical framework Modelling framework Results Conclusions and recommendations

35 Results: benefit (human capital) Labour force s median education level increases faster due to social transfers. Labour force median education level (schooling) Years of education Difference (Bs) Without SPI With SPI Bs (schooling - years)

36 Results: Benefit (hh consumption) Total household consumption grows faster if SPI are implemented. Total household consumption average growth rate Household Consumption average growth rate Difference (Bc) 0.04 Without SPI With SPI Bc (hh consumption growth rate)

37 Results: Benefit (poverty reduction) Poverty headcount decreases faster because of SPI Head count Poverty (head count) Difference (Bp) Without SPI With SPI Bp (poverty head count)

38 Results Total cost of SPI decreases over time. KHR (billion) 1.6 % of GDP Total cost (KHR billion) Total cost (% of GDP)

40 Agenda Introduction Analytical framework Modelling framework Results Conclusions and recommendations

41 Conclusions and recommendations Any model is always a simplification of real life. Effects, benefits and returns may be higher if complementary policies are also implemented. Improving health and education coverage and quality. Enhancing sanitation conditions. Fostering economic productivity, formal labour market, industrialization, innovation and technical change.

42 Conclusions and recommendations Additional effects may increase benefits and RoR. Behavioural (non-economic) effects due to SPI design. Spillover effects and regional multiplier. Institutional change and social cohesion. Health status improvements (e.g. nutrition). Financing aspects (taxation), administrative issues (inefficiency) and targeting errors may reduce RoR. Specific SPI design (e.g. targeting, conditionality, payment mechanism) may affect RoR.

43 Conclusions and recommendations Investing in social protection promotes equitable economic growth. In the case of Cambodia: Enhance human development solving human capital constraints Foster economic development at the micro level. A basic package of SPI for poor rural individuals in Cambodia has a RoR of between 12% and 15%, after 20 periods (years). It becomes positive after 12 periods (years). Poverty and inequality are immediately reduced (poverty headcount is reduced by 6 percentage points after introducing the SPI)
