This book introduces a much-needed gender lens to debates around
social protection. Millions of dollars are invested annually in
social protection policies and programs addressing poverty and
vulnerability in the developing world. Despite this, little
attention has been paid to social protection's role in tackling
gendered experiences of poverty and vulnerability. Gender and
Social Protection in the Developing World argues that
gender-sensitive policy and program design and implementation are
essential. Drawing on empirical evidence from Africa, Asia and
Latin America, the book provides rich insights. into the effects of
a broad range of social protection instruments. It concludes that
with relatively simple design changes and investment in
implementation capacity there is potential for social protection to
contribute to transforming gender relations at the individual,
intra-household and community levels.
