The term "social security" has a very different meaning in
underdeveloped countries -- whose populations live in great
insecurity -- and is best understood as poverty alleviation. This
book attempts to define social security in the Third World and to
examine what sort of programs are most suitable for developing
countries. The authors review current literature on the subject.
Some chapters explore broad themes, others contain case studies
describing social security provisions in various regions of Asia,
Latin America, and Southern Africa. This illuminating study will be
of interst to development economists as well as those working in
international organizations concerned with policy-making in the
Third World and management of resources.
