Social protection in the Philippines
Rejinel G. Valencia | December 2017
Abstract
Despite the efforts of the government to save Filipinos from the claws of poverty, many poor and even non poor households remain vulnerable (Mina and Imai 2016). To support these households, the Philippine government implements a number of social protection programs targeted to improve their economic and social footing and lessen their exposure to risks. This Economic Issue of the Day looks at the Philippine social protection and the framework being used to guide its implementation. It also discusses some of the studies that review the current state of social protection in the country.
