The document discusses social policy responses to financial crises, particularly in small states. It argues that social policy and economic policy are intertwined and should pursue social and economic goals together. Social security programs like universal pensions, health care, child benefits, and employment guarantees can help protect people during crises and boost demand. While expensive, basic social security systems are affordable for small states and can cost less than 3% of GDP.

This document provides a United Nations policy for post-conflict employment creation, income generation, and reintegration. It outlines three programming tracks to address employment challenges in post-conflict settings: Track A focuses on stabilizing income and emergency employment; Track B promotes local economic recovery and reintegration; and Track C supports sustainable employment creation and decent work nationally. The policy emphasizes the need for comprehensive and coherent strategies that incorporate all three tracks simultaneously from an early stage. It provides guidance on specific programs under each track and principles for gender-sensitive, conflict-sensitive, and sustainable approaches to post-conflict employment assistance.
The case for a maternity protection social insurance scheme in zimbabwe a t...
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.

This document outlines the United Nations policy for post-conflict employment creation, income generation, and reintegration. It discusses the key challenges of promoting employment in post-conflict settings, such as restoring markets and addressing the needs of specific groups like ex-combatants, refugees, and youth. It also notes opportunities like using the transition from conflict to drive social and economic change. The policy proposes a comprehensive three-track approach involving emergency employment, local economic recovery, and sustainable employment creation. It provides guidance on programming across these tracks to stabilize incomes, promote reintegration, and support long-term decent work. The overall aim is to develop a common UN framework to efficiently support post-conflict recovery and peacebuilding.

The document summarizes a presentation on attitudes toward universal basic income and welfare states in Europe. It discusses research examining the relationship between socioeconomic conditions in 21 European countries and public support for universal basic income. The research found that over 50% of respondents supported universal basic income in their country, but support varied significantly between countries. Countries with more generous social welfare systems had lower levels of support, while countries with greater economic insecurity were more receptive to universal basic income.

This document discusses China's rapidly aging population and the challenges it poses for China's pension system. As fertility declines and life expectancy increases, China will see a large elderly population and declining worker-to-retiree ratio. China's current pay-as-you-go pension system is financially unsustainable. The document builds a simulation model to analyze reform options for China's pension system and their economic and social impacts. It examines options like delaying retirement, changing GDP growth and contribution/benefit rates, and establishing individual pension accounts. The paper aims to inform strategic policymaking to harmonize economic growth and social sustainability in China as it addresses its impending aging crisis.

The document discusses financing infrastructure development projects in Uganda through public-private partnerships. It notes that infrastructure is key to development goals like health and acts as a backbone for other sectors. Private investors can be engaged through the IDA Private Sector Window, which offers concessional loans and grants. However, obstacles like weak investment environments and lack of bankable projects must be addressed. The solution involves improving regulatory environments, inviting private investment, addressing corruption, and utilizing tools like grants, equity, and guarantees to attract private financing for infrastructure in Uganda.

The document summarizes social protection programs and challenges in Mozambique. It notes that over half the population lives in poverty and the economy relies heavily on agriculture. The key social protection programs aim to provide cash transfers to vulnerable groups, income generation opportunities, and community development projects. The programs have expanded coverage but face challenges in effectively reaching rural populations and ensuring financial sustainability.
World Social Protection Report 2014/15 Building economic recovery, inclusive ...
As more countries move from employer liability as the basis for employment injury protection to a mechanism based on social insurance, levels of protection for workers are likely to improve but only if new laws are effectively enforced. Disability benefits Social protection plays a key role in meeting the specific needs of persons with disabilities with regard to income security, access to health care and social inclusion.
Effective measures to support persons with dis-abilities in finding and retaining quality employment are a key element of non-discriminatory and inclusive policies that help to realize their rights and aspirations as productive members of society. Complementing contributory schemes, non-contributory disability benefits play a key role in protecting those persons with disabilities who have not (yet) earned entitlements to contributory schemes.
Only 87 countries offer such non-contributory benefits anchored in national legislation, which would provide at least a minimum level of income security for those disabled from birth or before working age, and those who for any reason have not had the opportunity to contribute to social insurance for long enough to be eligible for benefits. Maternity protection Effective maternity protection ensures income security for pregnant women and mothers of newborn children and their families, and also effective access to quality maternal health care. It also promotes equality in employment and occupation.
Worldwide, less than 40 per cent of women in employment are covered by law under mandatory maternity cash benefit schemes; 57 per cent if voluntary coverage (mainly for women in self-employment) is included. Due to the ineffective enforcement and implementation of the law in some regions (Asia and the Pacific, Latin America and Africa in particular), effective coverage is even lower: only 28 per cent of women in employment worldwide are protected through maternity cash benefits which provide some income security in during the final stages of pregnancy and after childbirth; the absence of income security forces many women to return to work prematurely.
An increasing number of countries are using non-contributory maternity cash benefits as a means to improve income security and access to maternal and child health care for pregnant women and new mothers, particularly for women living in poverty. However, significant gaps remain. Ensuring effective access to quality maternal health care is of particular importance, especially in countries where the informal economy accounts for a large pro-portion of employment.
Old-age pensions: A state responsibility The right to income security in old age, as grounded in human rights instruments and international labour standards, includes the right to an adequate pension. However, nearly half (48 per cent) of all people over pensionable age do not receive a pension. For many of those who do receive a pension, pension levels are not adequate.

This document summarizes a presentation on social protection policy given by Ilcheong Yi from UNRISD. It discusses the sequencing of social protection measures in Nordic countries, highlighting universal coverage and generosity over time. It also addresses debates around targeting versus universalism, arguing universal social protection is more efficient, effective and sustainable. The document outlines the concept of a social protection floor promoted by the UN to guarantee minimum social security and services. However, it raises several questions about how the social protection floor framework can ensure adequate income security, health access, and be financed sustainably within a broad social policy approach.

It outlines both positive "dreams" including recognition of common challenges, emerging rights frameworks, and country-level innovations as well as negative "nightmares" such as increasing poverty, exclusion, and new forms of colonialism by middle-income countries. It calls for a bold vision of universal human rights and social justice to guide international development cooperation.
Joakim Palme Poltics and inequality 2 nov
This document discusses politics, inequality, and social policy from several perspectives:
1) Inequalities in societies are shaped by both economic structures and political conflicts. The welfare state aims to promote equality.
2) There are different models of social policy and redistribution strategies that aim to reduce inequality through universal benefits, earnings-related insurance, targeted benefits, or social services.
3) Ensuring social investment in areas like education and skills training can help prepare populations for changing economies, support current employment levels, and strengthen future tax bases amid challenges like population aging.

Child labour prersentation
The document discusses child labor, defining it as work performed by children below the legal working age that is considered exploitative and harmful. It outlines international efforts to eliminate child labor, such as the International Labour Organization's International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour (IPEC), which aims to end child labor in 88 countries. The document also discusses factors that push children into labor and international conventions and regulations, like ILO Convention 182, that seek to define and prohibit the worst forms of child labor.

This document discusses social protection, financial depth and soundness, and inclusive growth in Nigeria. It was found that social protection had a positive and significant effect on inclusive growth. The size of financial intermediaries also had a positive effect, but social protection's impact was not dependent on financial intermediary size. Bank credit to the private sector did not significantly impact inclusive growth. The liquidity ratio had a positive effect and complemented social protection's impact. The study recommends expanding social protection and ensuring a sound financial system to effectively promote inclusive growth.

The Research Centre for Gender Equality (KETHI) aims to advance gender equality in Greece through research, projects, and policy work. Greece has a significant gender economic gap, with high female unemployment and a wage gap between men and women. To help close this gap, Greece has implemented some policies around quotas for women in job training programs and supporting women's career advancement. However, challenges remain like traditional gender roles, lack of childcare, and segregation of male- and female-dominated professions. KETHI hopes its involvement in the G4G project will help Greece further through experience sharing with other European countries.
South african welfare state and the demographic dividend's window of opportunity
In this paper, I analysed the main characteristics of the South African Welfare State in terms of inputs and outputs of the key policies usually identified by the literature to be useful to exploit a demographic dividend. In particular, I focused on the state of the labour market, the social assistance policies and the education and healthcare systems. To do this I studied some quantitative indicators of both inputs and outputs and I reported the qualitative analysis of some other articles of these individuals sectors. The conclusion is that, despite some important progress made by the democratic governments, there are many improvements needed to create a consistent and inclusive growth.

The Nature and Meaning of Development by APS
This document discusses definitions and concepts of development from an economic and human development perspective. It begins by defining development based on sources like the Business Dictionary and others as the systematic use of knowledge to meet objectives, the extension of theoretical or practical aspects of a concept, and a process of social and economic transformation based on cultural and environmental factors. It then discusses Todaro's widely accepted definition of development as involving expanding people's choices and capabilities. The document outlines the evolution of thinking around development from purely economic growth perspectives to a human development approach adopted by the UNDP in 1990 focusing on enlarging people's choices rather than just income. It provides examples of related indicators at national and international levels and discusses concepts like the Millennium Development Go

The document discusses inclusive growth and how emerging markets can achieve it. Inclusive growth means providing more people with income and job opportunities so the benefits of economic growth are broadly shared. It can create sustained poverty reduction and a growing middle class. Emerging markets are encouraged to promote access to economic opportunities, education, health, gender equality, financial inclusion, basic utilities, better governance, and employment-intensive investment to ignite inclusive growth and set the course for a more sustainable future. The MasterCard Center for Inclusive Growth Index evaluates 60 emerging markets across 15 indicators related to inclusive growth and ranks the top 10 performers.

This document discusses the concept of regional social policy for sustainable human development in Southern Africa. It argues that institutionalizing regional social policy at the supranational level could help crystallize regional integration efforts. Regional social policy could enhance cross-border cooperation, provide social protections, and allow for a stronger voice in negotiations. However, challenges include financing, existing bilateral agreements, leadership, and long-term policymaking. Overall, the document makes the case that regional social policy could help accelerate development in Southern Africa if articulated within frameworks of democratic governance and sound economic policies.

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.

Overall, the document makes the case that regional social policy could help accelerate development in Southern Africa if articulated within frameworks of democratic governance and sound economic policies.

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.
Social Protection Floor Made Easy
A commitment to provide social protection to all workers, ensuring that all workers and their families are protected against the multiple environmental and economic crises they face. This we call the Social Protection Floor.

Child Sensitive Social Protection
This document discusses child sensitive social protection. It begins by providing context on global poverty levels and demographics in sub-Saharan Africa. It then defines social protection according to various organizations and provides examples of social protection instruments targeted at different life stages. The document discusses how social protection correlates to the Sustainable Development Goals and reviews intended and unintended impacts of programs in India, Ethiopia, and Peru. It concludes by defining child sensitive social protection as policies and programs that address children's specific vulnerabilities and poverty patterns while maximizing positive impacts on children.
Anti-poverty transfers in the South
The document summarizes the growth of antipoverty transfer programs in developing countries. It discusses the diversity in program designs, from pure income transfers to integrated poverty reduction programs. Key factors driving growth include crises in the 1980s-90s, democratization, and poverty research innovations. Programs have significantly reduced poverty and inequality in both short and medium-term. Sustainability depends on institutionalization, domestic financing shifts, and strengthening implementation capacity. Antipoverty transfers signify a shift toward social assistance and citizenship over social insurance, renewing social contracts in developing nations.

This document discusses social protection, social exclusion, and gender mainstreaming. It defines social protection as policies and programs that protect people from risks and vulnerabilities, such as those implemented by the ILO, ADB, and World Bank. The global objective of social protection is to reduce poverty, vulnerability, and social exclusion while improving health and education. Pakistan's national social protection strategy aims to develop an integrated system covering all populations, especially the poor and vulnerable. However, despite steps toward gender equality, women remain underrepresented in governance and lag behind men in literacy, labor participation, income, and other indicators according to the data presented. True reform requires developing both women and men and creating an enabling environment institutionally and systemically.

Gabriele Koehler SDL Lecture PowerPoint: Part 2
The document discusses both positive "dreams" and negative "nightmares" regarding globalization and development. Among the dreams are recognition of common human rights, emerging international agreements promoting rights like food and health, and some countries adopting progressive universal social policies. However, it also notes ongoing problems like the impact of economic changes on the poor and excluded, issues with some international institutions, and continued human rights challenges.

Social Protection, Financial Depth, Soundness and Inclusive Growth in Nigeria
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

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
