Though an increasing number of safety net programs are extremely well thought out, adroitly implemented, and demonstrably effective, many others are not. This book aims to assist those concerned with social policy to understand why countries need social assistance, what kind of safety programs will serve those best and how to develop such programs for maximum effectiveness. Safety nets are part of a broader poverty reduction strategy interacting with and working alongside of social insurance; health, education, and financial services; the provision of utilities and roads; and other policies aimed at reducing poverty and managing risk. Though useful, safety nets are not a panacea, and there are real concerns over whether they are affordable and administratively feasible or desirable in light of the various negative incentives they might create. In most settings where there is political will to do so, such concerns can be managed through a number of prudent design and implementation features. Much information and innovation exist on these topics; this book summarizes, references, and builds on this knowledge base to promote well-crafted safety nets and safety net policy.en-USCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTINGADDITIONAL INCOMEADMINISTRATIVE COSTSADMINISTRATIVE DATAADVERSE EFFECTSAGRICULTURAL INPUTSAGRICULTURAL WAGESASSISTANCE PROGRAMSATMATMSATTENDANCE IN SCHOOLBENEFICIARIESBENEFICIARYBENEFIT FORMULABENEFIT LEVELSBORROWINGCASH ASSISTANCECASH TRANSFERCASH TRANSFER PROGRAMSCASH TRANSFERSCATTLE OWNERSHIPCHILD ALLOWANCESCHILD LABORCHILD SUPPORTCHRONICALLY POORCHRONICALLY POOR FAMILIESCOLLATERALCOMMODITIESCONDITIONAL CASHCONFLICTCONSUMERSCONSUMPTION SMOOTHINGCONTRIBUTIONCONTRIBUTIONSCOPING STRATEGIESCOST-EFFECTIVENESSDEFERRED COMPENSATIONDELIVERY MECHANISMSDEVELOPMENT BANKDIRECT COSTSDISABILITIESDISABILITYDISADVANTAGED GROUPSDONOR SUPPORTDROUGHTEARNINGSECONOMIC ASSISTANCEECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMICSEDUCATION GRANTELIGIBILITY CRITERIAEMPLOYMENT GUARANTEEEMPLOYMENT GUARANTEE SCHEMEEXTREME HARDSHIPEXTREME POVERTYFAMILY ASSISTANCEFARM ACTIVITIESFARMERSFEE WAIVERSFINANCIAL CRISISFINANCIAL SERVICESFOOD AIDFOOD AVAILABILITYFOOD CONSUMPTIONFOOD EXPENDITURESFOOD INSECURITYFOOD PRICEFOOD PRICE SUBSIDIESFOOD PRICESFOOD RATIONSFOOD STAMPFOOD STAMPSFOOD SUBSIDYFOOD TRANSFERSFOOD-FOR-WORKFREE TRADEFULL EMPLOYMENTGENERAL PUBLICHEALTH SERVICEHEALTH SERVICESHIGH INEQUALITYHIGHER INFANT MORTALITYHORIZONTAL EQUITYHOUSEHOLD CONSUMPTIONHOUSEHOLD EARNERSHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTHUMAN RIGHTSIMPACT ON POVERTYINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME LEVELSINCOME LOSSESINCOME QUINTILEINCOME SHOCKSINCOME SUPPORTINCOMESINEQUALITYINFANT MORTALITYINNOVATIONINTERHOUSEHOLD TRANSFERSINTERNATIONAL AIDINVESTINGINVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIESIRRIGATIONJOB SEARCHLABOR DISINCENTIVESLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKET POLICIESLABOR MARKET PROGRAMSLABOR MARKETSLABOR POLICYLABORERSLABOURLACK OF CREDITLAND REDISTRIBUTIONLANDLESSLEAN SEASONLIFETIMELIVING STANDARDSLOW INCOMELOW INCOMESLOW-INCOMEMALNOURISHED CHILDRENMALNUTRITIONMARKET FAILURESMEANS TESTMEDICAL CAREMINIMUM INCOMEMULTIPLIER EFFECTNATURAL DISASTERSNUTRITION PROGRAMOLD AGEPAMPHLETSPENSION SCHEMESPER CAPITA CONSUMPTIONPOLITICAL ECONOMYPOOR HOUSEHOLDPOOR HOUSEHOLDSPOOR PEOPLEPOOR PERSONPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGYPOVERTY STATUSPRENATAL CAREPRODUCTION PROCESSPRODUCTIVE ASSETSPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC ACTIONPUBLIC DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC WORKSPUBLIC WORKS PROGRAMSRESPONSIBILITIESRETIREDRISK MANAGEMENTRURALRURAL AREASRURAL HOUSEHOLDSSAFETYSAFETY NETSAFETY NET PROGRAMSSAFETY NET SYSTEMSSAFETY NETSSANITATIONSAVINGSSCHOLARSHIPSSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSCHOOL ENROLLMENTSSCHOOL FEEDINGSCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAMSSCHOOL FEESSCHOOL MEALSSCHOOL SUPPLIESSECONDARY SCHOOLSELF-SUFFICIENCYSERVICE PROVIDERSSHARE OF BENEFITSSHOCKSMALLHOLDER AGRICULTURESOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL CARESOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL EXCLUSIONSOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL PENSIONSOCIAL PENSIONSSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL RISKSOCIAL RISK MANAGEMENTSOCIAL SAFETY NETSOCIAL SAFETY NETSSOCIAL SERVICESSOCIAL TRANSFERSSOCIAL WELFARESTAKEHOLDERSSUPPORT GRANTTARGETINGTRANSFER PROGRAMTRANSIENT POORTRANSIENT POVERTYTRANSITION COUNTRIESUNEMPLOYEDUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCEUSER FEESVERTICAL EQUITYVULNERABLE CHILDRENVULNERABLE GROUPVULNERABLE GROUPSVULNERABLE INDIVIDUALSWAGESWAIVER PROGRAMWEATHER INSURANCEWEB SITEWELFARE STATEWORK PROGRAMWORK PROGRAMSWORKFAREWORKS PROGRAMWORTHYOUNG CHILDRENWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-7581-5
