Age discrimination, the right to life, and Covid‐19 vaccination in countries with limited resources
This paper seeks to develop and apply a simple yardstick based on remaining life expectancy to assess whether specific health policies unfairly discriminate against people on the basis of their age. This reveals that the COVID‐19 vaccine prioritization policies of several countries have discriminated against older people. Conversely, the exclusion of older people from COVID‐19 vaccine testing is shown to be non‐discriminatory, as is some degree o…
Integrated long‐term care partnerships between government social care and health agencies in Brazil
The article sets out key elements of the policy agenda for enhanced integration between health and social care for older people in high‐income countries and demonstrates its wider relevance to low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs). The article then explores the context for this agenda in Brazil, including growing demand for long‐term care (LTC) and current institutional arrangements. It goes on to discuss a case study project of partnering for…

Social protection and preventing illness in developing countries
This article assesses the effectiveness of pension provision and health insurance in preventing ill health among older people in developing countries. It argues that, until recently, social protection agendas devoted insufficient attention to health risk prevention, instead focusing on the reduction of income poverty through cash transfers. The article shows that there is little reliable evidence to indicate that providing older people with pensi…
Cash Transfers and the Well-being of Older People in Brazil
This article provides a comprehensive assessment of the effects of social protection interventions on material and subjective elements of well-being. Drawing on a longitudinal survey located in two relatively deprived parts of Brazil, it assesses the effects of pensions and other cash transfers on the well-being of older people and their households. This analysis is located within a dynamic economic and public policy context. The article finds th…

Social Policy and Inequality in Latin America
Most Latin American countries have extensive social policies which absorb high levels of state spending. Despite this, Latin America continues to suffer from high levels of inequality in terms of income and access to basic services. This article explores this apparent paradox. It focuses on three aspects of social policy in the region: patterns of resource allocation, the distribution of welfare entitlements and differing capacities to take advan…
When Social Health Insurance Goes Wrong
Social health insurance (SHI) has gained popularity in recent years as a health‐care funding mechanism for developing countries in Latin America and beyond. This is reflected in a number of high‐profile conferences sponsored by international agencies, and a profusion of externally funded reform projects. This article assesses the potential of SHI to provide a sound model of health‐care financing, drawing on the experiences of Argentina and Mexico…
Simple Transfers, Complex Outcomes
Drawing on quantitative survey data and in-depth interviews, this article seeks to map out the potential direct and indirect effects of simple cash transfers on households in impoverished rural and urban settings. Brazil is shown to have an extensive system of old age pensions, which affords almost universal coverage to households containing older people. These benefits have a significant impact on levels of poverty and vulnerability in recipient…
Financing health services for pensioners in Argentina
The article examines the problems facing a programme to finance health care for pensioners in Argentina, known as PAMI. The programme is accumulating large deficits and many of its services are of doubtful quality. PAMI's problems and its resistance to reforms are put in the wider context of Argentina's liberalised health‐care system, neo‐liberal adjustment and flawed governance. The Argentine experience has relevance for other developing countri…
Healthcare Provision for Elderly People in Argentina
This paper highlights the problems of administering health insurance programmes in Latin America and the difficulties of imposing effective reforms. It examines the development, financial collapse and subsequent restructuring of a health insurance programme specifically targeting elderly people in Argentina. By the 1990s the Integrated Healthcare Programme (PAMI) had become one of the largest components of the country’s public welfare system, man…
The recent appearance of favelas in São Paulo City
While favelas have been an important feature of many Brazilian cities over the past 50 years, they were relatively insignificant in São Paulo until the mid‐ 1970s. Since then, São Paulo's favelas have experienced a dramatic expansion and some estimates now put their total population in the region of two million. This article examines potential explanations for this sudden change, including migration, changes in the housing market, relative prices…
