Abstract
This report is part of the World
Bank's advisory and analytical assistance to the
Government of Chile. The report examines whether Chile has a
social protection "system" - broadly defined to
include policy interventions, public institutions, and the
regulation of private institutions that lower the welfare
costs of adverse shocks to income from job loss and extended
unemployment, health episodes, old age, and life-time
poverty - or simply a set of loosely coordinated programs.
Further, the report assesses whether households are provided
with appropriate tools to mitigate risks to their income,
identifying gaps in coverage and where instruments are
missing. Finally, the report provides the Government with a
set of guidelines, grounded in a conceptual framework that
if carefully applied, could increase the effectiveness of
social protection.
