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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAGGREGATE LEVELAVAILABLE DATABUDGET ALLOCATIONSCOMPARATIVE COSTSCONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCOUNTRY LEVELDEBTDEVELOPING COUNTRIESECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC MANAGEMENTECONOMIC SITUATIONECONOMICSEFFECTIVE USEEMPIRICAL ANALYSISEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEEMPLOYMENTEMPLOYMENT PROGRAMSEXTERNAL SHOCKSGROUP DISCUSSIONSHEALTH EXPENDITURESHEALTH INSURANCEHEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGEHOUSEHOLD DATAHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD LEVELHOUSEHOLD SURVEYHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINCOME INEQUALITYINCOME LEVELSINDEXATIONINFLATIONINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMAL SECTORINSURANCE SYSTEMSJOB LOSSLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLATIN AMERICANMACROECONOMIC CRISISMACROECONOMIC MANAGEMENTMEAN INCOMEMEDIAN INCOMEMINIMUM WAGEMINIMUM WAGESMORAL HAZARDOLD AGEPENSION SYSTEMPOORPOVERTY INDICATORSPOVERTY LINEPOVERTY LINESPRIVATE SECTORPROTECTION POLICIESPUBLIC AGENCIESPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC INSTITUTIONSPUBLIC POLICYPUBLIC SPENDINGQUANTITATIVE ANALYSISRETIREMENT INCOMERISK MANAGEMENTRURAL AREASRURAL ECONOMYSAFETY NETSAVINGSSELF PROTECTIONSELF TARGETINGSOCIAL ASSISTANCESOCIAL INSURANCESOCIAL INSURANCE PROGRAMSSOCIAL POLICIESSOCIAL PROGRAMSSOCIAL PROTECTIONSOCIAL PROTECTION INSTITUTIONSSOCIAL PROTECTION PROGRAMSSOCIAL SECTORSSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SPENDINGSTRUCTURAL REFORMSSURCHARGESTARGETINGTASK TEAM LEADERTAXATIONUNEMPLOYMENTWorld Bank10.1596/14407
