Informal sector in India
This document discusses social security for workers in India's informal sector. It notes that the informal sector makes up a large portion of employment but lacks social protections. It then outlines various existing social security programs in India that cover risks like disability, death, maternity leave, medical care, pensions, and funerals. However, it finds issues with the current system, like multiplicity of agencies and overlapping benefits. It concludes by recommending the formulation of a national social security policy and authority to better coordinate protections for informal sector workers.

Promoting Social Protection in Uganda: The Pros and Cons of 'Going with the G...
This document summarizes the promotion of social protection in Uganda over three phases from 2002 to the present. In Phase I from 2002-2005, donors tried to integrate social protection into poverty reduction policies but faced challenges engaging key players. Phase II from 2006-2010 saw clearer strategies including cash transfer pilots and lobbying, which gained political approval. Phase III from 2011 onward achieved further rollout supported by presidential backing and increasing political demand from constituencies. However, social protection remains constrained by clientelist politics and competing priorities, raising questions about its long term prospects for an evidence-based, pro-poor social contract.
The politics of sc ts in zambia dsa
The document discusses the politics of promoting social cash transfers in Zambia. It describes how Zambia shifted from a dominant party system to competitive clientelism with the reintroduction of multi-party elections in 1991. It also discusses the rise of the Patriotic Front party in 2011 making populist, pro-poor claims. The document outlines the three phases of social cash transfers in Zambia, from an initial donor-driven pilot program to a 700% budget increase announced in 2014. Finally, it analyzes how a transnational policy coalition, a shift in the political settlement, and alignment with ideas of poverty reduction helped scale up social cash transfers, but they have not yet displaced more entrenched policies or paradigms

This document discusses political factors that influence the adoption of social protection programs in sub-Saharan Africa. It presents a framework analyzing how political settlements, or the balance of power between elites and social groups, shape ruling coalitions' priorities and ability to implement programs. Case studies of Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda and Zambia find that countries with stronger, more centralized ruling coalitions in Rwanda and Ethiopia have implemented ambitious social protection programs, while programs face greater challenges in countries with weaker or divided elites like Uganda. Donor advocacy and funding alone are not enough - domestic politics ultimately determine elite commitment to social protection.
Budgeting for women NI (NICVA CEE)
The document discusses the role of the Lynn Carvill Women's Resource and Development Agency in Northern Ireland in advocating for a gender perspective in political discussions and decisions. It outlines key tools used like producing a Women's Manifesto and responding to government budgets and policies. It also discusses how recent austerity budgets have disproportionately impacted women through cuts to benefits and public services that women rely on more than men. There are concerns that proposed welfare reforms could further erode women's economic autonomy and labor market participation.

Long-Term Unemployment
Long‐term unemployment has reached historic highs in the United States in recent years. Currently, nearly 40 percent of unemployed workers have been out of work for six months or longer, compared to a high of 25 percent in the 1980s recession. Lengthy periods of joblessness profoundly affect the economic and social resilience of workers and their families. Long‐term unemployment erodes assets, diminishes reemployment possibilities and significantly reduces lifetime wages. Additionally, the longterm unemployed face higher rates of family instability, mental and physical health problems.

The document summarizes the roles and impacts of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank in Pakistan and other developing countries. It outlines how Pakistan has frequently received loans from the IMF since 1958 to address balance of payments issues and economic crises. While IMF programs in Pakistan in the 1990s failed to achieve targets, programs in the 2000s and 2010s helped restore fiscal stability. The World Bank also introduced structural adjustment programs and shifted to providing advice, expertise, and project-linked financing for development. However, both institutions have faced criticism for negative social, environmental, and economic impacts of their policy conditions.

Thoughts on chinese economic policy
The document discusses China's economic policies and strategies to reduce poverty. It notes that China plans to adapt new policies of opening up the economy, supply-side reform, and poverty alleviation strategies at its upcoming National People's Congress. China has set a goal of eliminating poverty for all rural residents living below the current poverty line by 2020. It also discusses China's reforms over the decades to transition to a more market-based economy, including privatizing state-owned enterprises and establishing a social safety net. Supply-side structural reform remains a key policy to promote upgrading industries and meeting targets like reducing overcapacity. China has already lifted 700 million people out of poverty and aims to lift 10 million people out of poverty annually from 2016-2020

Kenya Mobilizing financial resources needed for health in the SDG era
- In 2015 the UN General Assembly formally accepted a new set of 17 measurable Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), ranging from ending world poverty to achieving gender equality and empowering women and girls by 2030. The SDG target 3 encompasses 9 sub targets focussed on ensuring healthy lives and well-being for all. These goals set by the proposed SDGs are ambitious and challenging. It will not be achieved with a business-as-usual approach.
- ODA in Kenya: In 2013, ODA for Health reached its highest level at US$ 934 million. However, the outlook of future aid to Kenya remains flat.
- The share of government expenditure on health in Kenya has not shown a commensurate increase with its increase in GDP. The share has actually declined from 46% of the Total Health Expenditure in 2000 to 46% in 2000. Government needs to increase its share of health expenditure to meet the rising healthcare demands.
- At current level of health expenditure at US$ 1.9 BN, there exists an annual funding gap of US$ 1.4 BN to meet the needs of Healthcare services.
- Kenya needs to consider several instruments of innovative financing in order to achieve its financing needs for Health. Some of the potential options presented in this digital artefact are raising additional taxes, Debt-swaps and social bonds.
- There is a hope that Kenya will make a paradigm shift in its approach to health financing and the Healthcare financing gap in Kenya will be filled in with additional sources generated through innovative financing instruments.

Structural Adjustment Programmes (SAPs) ppt
Structural adjustment programs (SAPs) are economic reform policies imposed by the IMF and World Bank on developing countries as conditions for receiving loans. SAPs began in the 1980s and involved 187 programs across 64 countries. They aimed to boost exports, reduce government deficits, and improve investment climates. Typical SAP measures included currency devaluation, cutting social spending, privatizing industries, and deregulating markets. While SAPs achieved some economic growth in countries like Ghana, they also had many negative social impacts by reducing education, healthcare and living standards. Critics argue SAPs undermine national sovereignty and prioritize private profits over public welfare. In response to criticisms of SAPs, the IMF and World Bank introduced Poverty
