SOCIAL PROTECTION
SOCIAL PROTECTION: WHAT IS IT?
Social protection measures have a long history in Europe where the European Social Model is extolled as one that supports “social solidarity” and enables the population as a whole to contribute through taxes to help those in need. Social protection measures have become increasingly popular in Asia, Latin America, and Africa with large scale programs which impacted the futures of millions in India, China, South Africa, Brazil, Russia, Tanzania, Zambia, Mexico, Chile, etc.
In the wake of the Asian Financial Crisis and the global financial crisis, social protection policies provided a means to enable populations “in need” to survive and be prepared to contribute to the society once the economy recovers. It has become particularly important to facilitate peoples’ and states’ recovery from environmental, financial, and other types of crisis. Depending on the risk to be mitigated, social protection can take different forms and approaches which have led to a variety of programs and policies across the globe.
Research on Social protection has increased dramatically with the increase in economic shocks and other types of crisis as well as increase in policies implemented in developing and emerging countries. Such research has provided a wealth of information on the objectives, implementation, approaches and impact of social protection measures. This literature review will first provide an overview of the approaches comprising social protection; and consider some of the challenges inherent to defining this evolving concept. The second part of this review will take a closer look at some of the social protection policies and programs implemented around the globe, especially in BRIC. The final part of this review will consider the quandaries in social protection and research considerations for the future. Social protection is the broadest?, signifying the full range of protective transfers, services, and institutional safeguards supposed to protect the population ‘at risk’ of being ‘in need’.
The graph above provides an overview of various social protection schemes used across the globe. They are often a combination of social services, labor policy and social insurance; and safety nets.
In many countries social protection pie is financed by social contributions of employers, protected persons and general government contribution. The social assistance comes within the social protection in many countries by solidarity basis, selectivity and targeting basis, institutional delusion level and re-integration efforts. The social insurance program was implemented for a unified and integrated social protection process. The institutional participation of social agents favors the transparency and rationalization of the social protection model. Different modifications were made in the past decades for the protection of the social protection pie. The information is coordinate.
Unit vi national policy on senior citizens 2011anjalatchi
• The foundation of the new policy, known as the “National Policy for Senior Citizens 2011” is based on several factors. These include the demographic explosion among the elderly, the changing economy and social milieu, advancement in medical research, science and technology and high levels of destitution among the elderly rural poor (51 million elderly live below the poverty line). A higher proportion of elderly women than men experience loneliness and are dependent on children. Social deprivations and exclusion, privatization of health services and changing pattern of morbidity affect the elderly. All those of 60 years and above are senior citizens. This policy addresses issues concerning senior citizens living in urban and rural areas, special needs of the “oldest old? and older women.

Launch Presentation - Social Protection for the Informal Economy: Operational...RenataMello60
Launch Presentation. The informal economy in Africa is large and diverse, and it is the main source of employment in the region. It is projected to grow and create more jobs. The informal economy is well established in the region, but it also faces a host of development challenges. It is characterized by low human capital and productivity compared with the formal economy and is typically associated with limited access to resources such as electricity, finance, land, and public services. People who work in the informal economy are usually more susceptible to short-term shocks and the more catastrophic consequences of idiosyncratic shocks (acute short-term crises, such as illness) and covariate shocks (chronic or widespread shocks affecting entire communities). These vulnerabilities are exacerbated because these people ordinarily have limited avenues to formal financial institutions or risk mitigation instruments. Women are more likely to work in the informal economy in Africa and are therefore also more likely to experience precarious work environments. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the vulnerabilities of the vast informal economy, especially in urban areas. Social protection cash transfers provided an essential platform for delivering assistance in response to the COVID-19 shock in the Africa region. In addition to macroeconomic measures to support economic recovery, governments needed to limit the damage to livelihoods, especially in the informal economy. Many governments in the region added to their capacity to extend coverage with innovations in targeting and delivering payments by leveraging technology and using big data. In many cases, registration was carried out using mobile technology. Some governments opted to implement more direct registration processes by creating dedicated websites or relying on informal economy associations. These swift responses were success stories in their own right, but they were undertaken essentially as a response to an urgent requirement to provide much-needed support to groups that lacked social protection and to prevent them from slipping into poverty. Governments allocated significant resources, typically through external financing (US6.1 billion dollars in additional spending in 30 countries across Africa).
The case for a maternity protection social insurance scheme in zimbabwe a t...CosmasCHIKWAWAWA1
Maternity protection has gained salience in the last few
decades as women of child-bearing age are increasingly joining
the labour market. Policies that ensure maternity protection
schemes that include paid maternity leave are important in
safeguarding the health and livelihood of women and children.
Research-based evidence generally suggests that maternity
protection is associated with higher rates of breastfeeding and
vaccinations in low and middle income countries. Longer paid
maternity leave may reduce infant and maternal mortality. With
more and more women of child-bearing age entering the
workforce, governments it is incumbent for governments to
adapt policies that guarantee that employed mothers and their
families are able to provide essential care during pregnancy,
delivery and lactation, without losing income and employment
opportunities. Inadequate maternity protection undermines
maternal and infant health care, thereby forcing families into
catastrophic and impoverishing healthcare expenditure.
Manifestly, more effort is needed to bridge the gap between
international aspirations for maternity protection, as reflected in
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the
International Labour Organisation’s Decent Work Agenda and
the poignant realities in low income countries. Zimbabwe, like
most developing countries does not have a maternity protection
social insurance scheme for working women, in spite of its
critical importance to the well-being of women and children as
well as to social and economic development. This paper, thus,
endeavours to present robust arguments for the development
and introduction of a maternity protection scheme in Zimbabwe,
while acknowledging that currently the country offers
substantial maternity protection through constitutional and
legislative provisions that enjoin the state and employers to
ensure that there is a considerable measure of maternity
protection. Although the constitutional and legislative provisions
provide a significant foundation for maternity protection policies
and programmes, they are not adequate as they do not
sufficiently address the issue address of maternal and child
healthcare and cash benefits to cater the costs attendant to
maternity.
Social Protection, Financial Depth, Soundness and Inclusive Growth in Nigeria AJHSSR Journal
ABSTRACT: This paper examines the effect of social protection on inclusive growth in Nigeria, focusing also
on the role of financial depth and soundness on inclusive growth using a time series data from 1981 to 2019.
The System Generalized Method of Moments (SYSTEM – GMM) estimator was used in estimating the model.
It was found that social protection had a positive and significant effect on inclusive growth. We also found a
positive and significant effect of the size of financial intermediaries in the financial system on inclusive growth,
but the effectiveness of social protection in enhancing inclusive growth was not dependent on the size of
financial intermediaries in the financial system. A negative and insignificant effect of bank credit to the private
sector to GDP on inclusive growth was also found, nevertheless, the credit to the private sector channel has the
wherewithal to complement social protection to raise the inclusive growth. The liquidity ratio had a positive and
significant effect on inclusive growth and complements the effectiveness of social protection in raising the
inclusive growth rate. The study recommends expansion of the government social safety net measures to
accommodate more beneficiaries especially the small entrepreneurs and the poor unemployed. In this way,
growth will be distributive to enhance inclusiveness. Also, the government social safety net policies cannot
work effectively in isolation with a sound financial system. Therefore, measures should be in place to ensure a
sound and sustainable financial system in the economy

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
