Social Protection Social protection is defined as the set of policies and programmes designed to reduce poverty and vulnerability by promoting efficient labour markets, diminishing peoples exposure to risks and enhancing their capacity to protect themselves against hazards and interruption/loss of income. The policies and procedures included in social protection involve five major kinds of activities: labour market policies and programmes, social insurance programmes, social assistance, micro and area-based schemes, and child protection.

FOREWORD
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 We live in times that seem to be defined by shocks and vulnerabilities, and these shocks and vulnerabilities have the potential to slow down, or even reverse, achievements in human development. The recent global economic downturn has already had some negative effects on human development indicators, for example. In recent decades, there has been a renewed interest in social protection policies as a way to help households cope with the negative effects of economic policies. Many countries have adopted cash transfer programmes, for example, as a way to support the income of poor households and encourage them to invest more in developing human capital through education and health. While evaluations of these programmes show measurable improvements in some human development indicators such as school attendance and health status, less is known about their sustained effects on poverty reduction and inclusive growth. This sustained effect can be potentiated if the positive effects on education and health, for instance, are accompanied by a better possibility of beneficiaries to insert themselves productively in the labour market and the local economy. Employment is a key strategy for sustainable poverty reduction and promotion of inclusive growth. However, economic growth, even when rapid, has not always created jobs, particularly jobs for the poor. Furthermore, in the present global context, growth has slowed down and employment has suffered as well. Even when growth recovers, the need for innovation and re-reorganization of production and service delivery in order to reduce costs might well mean a weaker demand for labour. Less rapid growth and lower employment intensity of growth will make inclusive growth and progress in human development more difficult. In addition to this, the quality of the jobs created also matters in terms of human development outcomes. Insecure, unstable and unprotected employment has limited potential to have a lasting effect on poverty reduction. In this sense, a closer linkage of employment policies with social protection policies and programmes can also promote greater resilience both at the level of the household, but also the economy as a whole. Both employment and social protection thus are keys to inclusive growth, sustained poverty reduction and improvement in human development. However, establishing the linkages between them so as to potentiate the positive effects of employment and social protection remains an area where much needs to be learned. The present volume addresses this question by looking at evidence from six country case studies to assess how to enhance the employment impact of social protection programmes by improving the consistency of objectives between them and the macro, sectoral and territorial policies adopted by

countries. These studies look at a range of social programmes to assess their potential and limitations for supporting more inclusive growth and for sustained poverty reduction. They also focus on design and implementation questions as well as their links with other social and macroeconomic policies. This publication offers valuable insights into these issues and highlights key policy considerations for policy makers. It also offers an important contribution to the discussion on how to think about the linkages, which requires further research and work. I hope that the present volume would be useful to academics, researches, policy-makers and broader development practitioners.
