The Rise of Social Protection in the Global South: The Role of Foreign Aid

Niño-Zarazúa, Miguel; Horigoshi, Ana; Santillán Hernández, Alma; Ernesto, Tiburcio

Abstract

More than half of the world’s population has no access to social safety nets or social insurance. What is international development aid doing to address this? This study demonstrates that, while international aid has contributed to the expansion of social safety net programmes in poor countries, the share of aid that is targeted towards social protection has decreased globally. Furthermore, it has not always been allocated to countries with the greatest needs.
