First published in 1987, this book analyses social welfare in the
major countries of Africa, at that time. For each country it
considers the ideological framework underlying the social welfare
system and describes the historical development of both the system
and the political and socio-economic context. Each chapter looks at
the structure and administration of the systems in place and how
these are financed. Contributions examine the nature of the
different parts of the welfare system, surveying social security,
personal social services, and the treatment of the following key
target groups: the aged; those with disabilities and handicaps;
children and youth; disadvantaged families; the unemployed; and the
sick and injured. Each chapter concludes with an assessment of the
effectiveness of the system considered. In this book, particular
attention is paid to the role of foreign aid agencies and to
missionaries, and to the special problems of poverty and famine in
Africa.
