Download or read book The Revised Social Protection Index written by Asian Development Bank and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2011-10-01 with total page 73 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) developed the Social Protection Index (SPI) in 2005–2008 to address the growing recognition that economic growth is insufficient in addressing the needs of the poor and vulnerable. In 2010, it revised the SPI to highlight the impact of expenditures on all beneficiaries. This revised SPI handbook contains the rationale for the revision, comparing the total social protection expenditure across all potential beneficiaries with the poverty line expenditures in each country, and offers guidelines for preparing social protection country assessments. It provides a useful analytical and assessment tool for social protection programs in countries rather than a relative ranking of countries in Asia and the Pacific.

Download or read book Enhancing Social Protection in Asia and the Pacific written by Sri Wening Handayani and published by Asian Development Bank. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 653 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 21-22 April 2010, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) organized a social protection conference in Manila. Interest in social protection has been growing since the global financial crisis heightened awareness of the many millions of people in Asia and the Pacific who live in poverty or vulnerable situations. Thus, policy makers are now keen to develop social protection systems that can assist people to both leave and stay out of poverty. The conference brought together people from ADB, its developing member countries, partner agencies, research institutes, and civil society organizations to exchange valuable experience and information and discuss ideas on how to develop social protection and expand it for the well-being of people in Asia and the Pacific. This book features selected papers from the conference that respond to the need for integrated and inclusive social protection to improve the quality of peoples' lives and livelihoods. Specific areas emphasized are health insurance, pensions, the informal sector, measures targeting children, and measuring and monitoring social protection.

Download or read book The Promise of Protection written by United Nations. Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific and published by UN. This book was released on 2011 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Report aims to contribute to the policy discourse on the direction and impact of social protection in Asia and the Pacific. While many countries of the region have some form of social protection in place, only a fraction of those who need assistance actually benefit. Still, these programmes can act as the building blocks for more comprehensive social protection systems which can meet the needs of so many more. It then promotes universal coverage as a way to most effectively and proactively impact on people's lives, and especially the most vulnerable groups in society. This Report also presents the political and economic case for social protection and the need to bring social protection into the mainstream of development policy formulation.
