This is an open access title available under the terms of a CC
BY-NC-ND 3.0 IGO licence. It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship
Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected
open access locations. The term 'social security' has a very
different meaning in underdeveloped countries and is best
understood as poverty alleviation. This work seeks to define social
security in its various forms and to examine what types of
programmes are most suitable for developing countries. The authors
review current literature on the subject. Some chapters explore
broad themes, while others describe social security provisions in
various regions in South Asia, China, Latin America, and Southern
Africa. Western systems are compared and broad assessments made of
the traditional social security systems in village societies. The
editors aim to put the subject of social security firmly on the
agenda of development economic research with a view to stimulate
much further research in this area. The volume is written in a way
that will be accessible to a much wider audience.
