Social Protection in Asia and the Pacific
Ortiz, Isabel | June 2001
Abstract
This volume reflects the work and findings of the ADB Working Group on Social Protection since 1998, in close consultation with the ADB’s member countries and aid agencies. The contributors present the theoretical background and project options of the five core social protection topics: labor markets, social insurance, social assistance, micro and area-based schemes and child protection. Studies on three specific social protection interventions— pension, disaster preparedness and investment in child protection—were included to further document and enlighten the social protection debate. All of the studies were presented at the Asia and Pacific Forum on Poverty held in Manila in February 2001.
