Social Contracts for Development
Sub-Saharan Africa has achieved significant gains in reducing the levels of extreme poverty in recent decades, yet the region continues to experience challenges across the development indicators, including energy access, literacy, delivery of services and goods, and jobs skills, as well as low levels of foreign direct investment. Exacerbating the difficulties faced by many countries are the sequelae of conflict, such as internal displacement and …
Conclusions and Final Considerations
Reiterates the key principle of poverty prevention in social insurance policies and asserts that any other income redistribution objectives should be explicitly and transparently pursued with instruments financed from broad-based taxes. Financing the proposed protections can be achieved in many countries by reallocating existing expenditures and redeploying resources spent on broad price subsidies; in others, revenues may have to increase. Techno…
Labor Policy for a Diverse and Diversifying World of Work
Emphasizes the importance of new ideas to motivate and inform a new generation of labor market policies better suited to a diverse and diversifying world of work. Drivers of disruption—technological change and economic integration, in particular—are challenging the primacy of the archetypal standard employer-employee relationship as a formal institution, and social, demographic, and climate changes are reconfiguring the composition of the workfor…
Charting the Course for a Challenging Transition
Identifies possible fiscal and technological options for reform-minded governments and addresses the constraints imposed by legacy commitments of the risk-sharing institutions currently in place. The most formidable among these constraints is the fiscal cost of covering contingent liabilities of employment-based social insurance plans. Proposals for financing an expanded set of guaranteed protections must launch from a holistic fiscal perspective…
The Conceptual Underpinnings of Risk-Sharing Policy and the Changing Nature of Losses
Presents a framework drawn from the main conceptual underpinnings of risk-sharing policy and explains how, when applied to the drivers of disruption, new inferences can be drawn for policy makers. Tools used in actuarial and public economics illustrate policy-relevant insights about the nature of a loss, how it is best covered, and how much to expect of the private sector. Market failures on the supply and demand sides motivate policy interventio…
Prevailing Risk-Sharing Policies and Drivers of Disruption in the World of Work
Chronicles the significance of the standard employment relationship as the legal foundation of the risk-sharing policy apparatus. In most low- and middle-income countries in the second decade of the twenty-first century, the segment of people whose work resembles that standard and who are thus covered by statutory worker protection and social insurance remains very small, with policy, institutional, and administrative coordination poor or absent …
Overview
Explains the importance of a comprehensive policy package of poverty prevention and protection against livelihood shocks with a publicly financed, guaranteed-minimum risk-pooling mechanism at its core and additional layers of mandated, nudged, and wholly voluntary insurance. Effective risk-sharing policies are foundational to building equity, resilience, and opportunity, to augment people’s options for managing shocks to their livelihoods, and to…
From an Employment-Based to a Comprehensive Model of Risk Sharing
Argues for a comprehensive policy package of protection from shocks and losses that places little reliance on where or how people work. The package has a publicly financed guaranteed-minimum risk-pooling mechanism at its core, along with additional layers of mandated, nudged, and wholly voluntary market insurance. To be broadly applicable in a diverse set of countries, the proposal gives greater weight to policy objectives than to specific instru…
Protecting All
This white paper focusses on the policy interventions made to help people manage risk, uncertainty and the losses from events whose impacts are channeled primarily through the labor market. The objectives of the white paper are: to scrutinize the relevance and effects of prevailing risk-sharing policies in low- and middle-income countries; take account of how global drivers of disruption shape and diversify how people work; in light of this diver…
World Development Report 2019
Work is constantly reshaped by technological progress. New ways of production are adopted, markets expand, and societies evolve. But some changes provoke more attention than others, in part due to the vast uncertainty involved in making predictions about the future. The 2019 World Development Report will study how the nature of work is changing as a result of advances in technology today. Technological progress disrupts existing systems. A new so…
Reframing the EU Budget Decision-Making Process
This article analyses the institutional constraints for European Union finances reform and proposes a decision-making process that incorporates these constraints and provides incentives to reorient the budget towards more EU public goods. The authors propose separating the budget into a redistributive and a public good category. In order to reveal common interests, the decision of what is to be considered an EU public good is left to the negotiat…
Evaluating EU structural policy
The EU budget review, launched by the Commission in 2007, is a unique opportunity to critically examine EU policies and instruments. Structural Funds are at the heart of the EU’s cohesion efforts, and amount to almost one-third of the Community’s budget. They have two declared objectives, economic growth and regional convergence, but these do not always complement each other. The allocation of the Structural Funds is not efficient from a pure gro…
