Abstract
It has long been recognized that
political economy influences the design, implementation and
outcome of safety nets, as well as other social programs,
but there is no consensus about how to account for such
concerns in policy decisions. This note draws on
international public opinion surveys and other research to
highlight some of the implications for the design of safety
net policies.
