Abstract

While access to social security is first a matter of rights, it is also useful to review its effects on outcomes commonly found in development and anti-poverty agenda in developing countries. This review can help to better assess the relevance to invest public resources in social protection in a context where these resources are quite limited and the needs are many. This is the purpose of this Compendium. The focus has been placed on non-contributory programmes in developing countries.
