Building universal social protection systems for all
Income security in times of ill health
international interdisciplinary research network. SPARKS' multi-sectoral team characterizes and evaluates the direct and indirect effects of social protection strategies on health, economic, and wider outcomes
Reinvigorating the social contract and strengthening social cohesion
The COVID‐19 pandemic has exposed the vulnerability of those who are inadequately covered by social protection in more and less developed countries alike, and has exacerbated the fragility of a social contract that was already under strain in many countries. A weak social contract in the context of an exceptional crisis poses a very real risk to social cohesion. Nevertheless, many States have reasserted themselves as the guarantor of rights by pr…
Social protection systems and the future of work
Digitalization is transforming societies and economies worldwide at an unprecedented scale and pace. In the wake of automation and digitalization, new forms of employment have been emerging in various occupations and sectors, such as the digital platform economy. The emergence of new forms of employment, such as work on digital platforms, requires that existing social protection systems adapt to the specific situation and needs of such workers, a…

At the Margins of the Welfare State
The persistence of poverty in advanced welfare states casts doubt on the fundamental operating procedures of income distribution and redistribution. What are the reasons for this apparent failure of the welfare state in alleviating poverty? Why are some countries more effective than others in this respect and what can explain these variations in effectiveness? Addressing one of the major puzzles in comparative welfare state research, this volume …
Holes in the Safety Net? Social Security and the Alleviation of Poverty in a Comparative Perspective
This chapter explores the effectiveness of welfare states in alleviating poverty in a comparative perspective on the basis of household micro-data from the Luxembourg Income Study. It presents a short descriptive overview over poverty rates in highly developed welfare states. The chapter briefly summarizes the available evidence on the effectiveness of the welfare state in terms of poverty alleviation and the relationship between social spending …
Social Security in the Global Village
There is a growing recognition that globalization places major pressures on the development of social security schemes. The internationalization of the economy has important consequences for labor markets: employment is becoming less secure and inequality and social exclusion more pronounced in many countries. At the same time come fundamental sociodemographic changes: new family structures, an aging population, and migration. Increased uncertain…
Introduction
The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1948 asserts that social security is an inalienable human right. Realizing this human right is often considered, simply, as a matter of political will and of administrative aptitude. In these terms, the progressive realization of the human right to social security may be viewed as the outcome of an appropriately‐resourced political and bureaucratic process. Such a perspective, however, i…
Crisis, Opportunity and the Social Protection Floor
Can Low-Income Countries Afford Social Security?
Proposals to accelerate the establishment of social protection systems in low-income countries have gathered strength in the early years of the twenty-first century. These proposals are being subjected to searching questions. One major question concerns ‘affordability’ — with which this chapter seeks to deal.

Do Income Surveys Overestimate Poverty in Western Europe? Evidence from a Comparison with Institutional Frameworks
Do means-tested benefits alleviate poverty
This article analyses the relationship between means-tested benefits and poverty in Western Europe. Means-tested benefits, as social assistance or housing benefits, are designed as safeguards against poverty for the low-income strata of the population, but our knowledge on their impact is fairly limited. How effective are they in reducing poverty rates? To what degree can they fill the gap that income redistribution through taxes and non-means-te…
Private Pensions — a Viable Alternative? Their Distributive Effects in a Comparative Perspective
Pension reforms have been on the political agenda of governments and international organizations like the OECD and the World Bank for some time. The strengthening of private elements in pension systems is often believed to intensify existing inequalities in the distribution of pensions among the population and to contribute to the marginalization of large groups of older people. This paper explores the distributive effects of private pensions on …
