Securing social insurance for the future by reformulating demands on capital
Realigning Social Protection Across the Nexus
Humanitarian emergencies are increasingly protracted and characterised by multiple compounding crises. International social security standards provide a roadmap for building national social protection systems. In the Arab States region, the International Labour Organization has been critically assessing how to apply these standards across the humanitarian, development, and peace nexus when countries face protracted crises. This article presents c…
Extending social protection to migrant workers in the region of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC)
This article explores factors influencing the extension of social protection to migrant workers in the region of the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (GCC). While there are some indications of new momentum for reforms, we find that reforms to address gaps in legal social protection coverage have historically been hindered by the very design of the migration system, including the assumed short‐term migration time frame and over …
Income Elasticity of Child Labor
The possible nonlinearity of the income elasticity of child labor has been at the center of the debate regarding both its causes and the policy instruments to address it. We contribute to this debate providing theoretical and empirical novel results. From a theoretical point of view, for any given transfer size, there is a critical level of household income below which an increase in income has no impact on child labor and education. We estimate …
Cash Transfers and Gender Differentials in Child Schooling and Labor
We examine the impacts of an unconditional cash transfer in Lesotho using an experimental impact evaluation design. We find that the cash transfer led to different outcomes for girls and boys, overall favouring secondary school-aged girls. Girls in this age group were less likely to miss school, spent more time at school, and faced a reduced time burden in household chores. While the general results are maintained in households with a married cou…
Can Social Protection Affect Psychosocial Wellbeing and Why Does This Matter? Lessons from Cash Transfers in Sub-Saharan Africa
Social protection interventions have been demonstrated to improve traditional measures of poverty by protecting people from risk. Less research has been conducted on their impacts on psychosocial dimensions of wellbeing – self-acceptance, autonomy and purpose in life among others –, that are both intrinsically and instrumentally important. This paper provides evidence from a mixed method evaluation of a cash transfer in Kenya, and from systematic…
Determinants of take-up of welfare programmes
Households that are eligible for means-tested benefits do not always take them up, leading to potentially detrimental consequences associated with their unintended exclusion. This paper offers a framework for analysing non-take-up, covering households that are uninformed, misinformed, constrained or uninterested. Using quantitative evidence from an evaluation of a conditional cash transfer in Kazakhstan we compare the characteristics of enrolled …
Is Graduation from Social Safety Nets Possible? Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
In the last decade social cash transfer programmes have become extremely popular in sub-Saharan Africa, and often portrayed as an instrument that can facilitate graduation out of poverty. The evidence on whether social cash transfers have had actual effects on graduation, however, is limited. This paper provides a cross-country reflection of the potential effects of social cash transfers on graduation, drawing from impact evaluation results of ca…
