Building Social Protection and Labor Systems

Health, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank

The document discusses building social protection and labor systems through a harmonized approach. It outlines the World Bank's strategy to move from fragmented programs to coherent systems. These systems are portfolios of programs that communicate, often share administrative systems, and work together to provide resilience, equity and opportunity. Two pillars support this agenda: ASPIRE, a global database for benchmarking social protection programs, and SPARCS, an assessment tool to evaluate country systems and guide development. SPARCS uses common methodologies to generate assessments that can be shared, facilitating global learning. The document provides examples of operationalizing a systems approach at both administrative and program levels in various countries.

Building Social Protection Systems: Mechanism for Harmonization (Ethiopia)

Health, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank

(1) Ethiopia previously relied on an emergency relief system to help 5-14 million food insecure people annually, but it was ineffective and led to asset depletion; (2) The PSNP/HABP was created in 2005 as a coordinated, government-led program to provide predictable cash and food transfers to 7.6 million chronically needy people across 319 districts; (3) Key coordination mechanisms include pooled funding, joint monitoring and evaluation, and regular joint review missions between the government and development partners.

The document summarizes Rwanda's social protection system, which has evolved from fragmented projects to a more coordinated set of programs under a national strategy. It describes the flagship Vision 2020 Umurenge Program (VUP) and other key programs, their targeting mechanisms, numbers of beneficiaries, and management.

Health, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank

The Philippines implemented a conditional cash transfer program called Pantawid Pamilya Pilipino Program (4Ps) starting as a pilot in 2007. The program identifies poor households using a proxy-means test of household characteristics and provides cash transfers conditional on children's school attendance and families' use of health services. It has rapidly expanded coverage to over 3.8 million households by 2013. The program coordinates with various government ministries and is monitored through household surveys to evaluate its impact on socioeconomic, health and education outcomes. Supply-side constraints and reaching more remote/urban poor remain ongoing challenges.

Chile Solidario: Building Family-focused Networks

Health, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank

Health, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank

This document summarizes Pakistan's efforts to build an integrated social protection system to reach the poorest citizens. It discusses how Pakistan developed a national social protection strategy in 2007 and launched the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) in 2008 to provide a more coordinated approach. Key elements of the system include effective targeting through a national poverty registry using a poverty scorecard; efficient administration through digital payments to over 4.5 million families; and outreach expansion to additional programs for health insurance, education, and skills development. The system aims to facilitate program integration and coordination across different social protection initiatives at both federal and provincial levels. Challenges remain around long-term financing, federal-provincial partnerships, and explaining social protection

1) Results-based financing was introduced in Afghanistan's health system in 2010 to improve poor health indicators by paying health facilities for additional and higher quality services, especially for the poor. 2) An impact evaluation found that key indicators like antenatal care, postnatal care, and skilled birth attendance increased significantly more in facilities using results-based financing compared to similar control facilities. 3) The longer results-based financing was in place, the greater the improvements in health services. Quality of care also improved in hospitals using results-based financing approaches.

Health, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank

The document discusses improving youth employment opportunities through better knowledge, collaboration, and interventions. It notes that achieving the World Bank's goals of reducing poverty requires promoting job growth, as poverty reduction mostly occurs through employment. While youth unemployment is higher than adult unemployment, interventions like job skills programs, wage subsidies, and linking youth to growing industries have shown promise. However, more evidence-based, scalable, and cost-effective solutions are still needed that directly involve the private sector, policymakers, educators, and young workers themselves to tackle the large challenge of global youth unemployment.

Health, Education, Social Protection and Labor World Bank

The Great Recession had mostly negative impacts on employment outcomes and wage growth in developing countries. While GDP growth fell significantly between 2007-2009 in most countries, the effects varied based on factors like economic structure, openness, labor policies, and size of fiscal stimulus programs. Countries with larger, more open economies that relied heavily on exports saw bigger drops in employment levels compared to declines in GDP. Macroeconomic policies were more effective than labor market interventions in mitigating the crisis impacts. The document recommends using economic booms to strengthen social safety nets that can expand during downturns to protect the vulnerable.

Key findings include substantial mismatches between education/skills supply and demand, lack of skills being a major constraint for firms, and technical and soft skills being shaped by education level and impacting employment and earnings outcomes. Strategic priorities identified include improving TVET quality/relevance, developing a more demand-driven system, diversifying provision, and strengthening governance, monitoring, and labor market information. Lessons learned include the time required to finalize questionnaires and establish teams, and the importance of government ownership.

It outlines a World Bank work program on skills and labor markets in Ukraine, including analytical reports, skills measurement surveys of households and employers, and an assessment of vocational education. Major challenges include low employment rates, a declining workforce, and skills mismatches. Many firms consider skills shortages a severe constraint. The surveys aim to better understand the distribution of skills in the workforce and demand across sectors to inform policy dialogue, though engagement remains difficult given limited lending.

The document summarizes key findings from an ILO/WB database and report on policy responses to the 2008 financial crisis. The database collected information from 77 countries on measures in areas like macroeconomic policies, labor demand creation, unemployment benefits, and social dialogue. It found that while countries tailored responses to domestic circumstances, lower-income countries emphasized job creation through public works and infrastructure spending, while higher-income countries relied more on tax cuts. Most countries expanded social protection programs. The report concludes countries generally complied with international labor standards and increased social dialogue, though vigilance is still needed.
