Social protection, in the context of informal economy, is a
challenging task. When traditional societies transform into modern
state and their economies prosper, formal social protection becomes
indispensable. A new dynamics of the symbiotic existence of
informal and formal social protection takes place. This generates a
politics that shapes the access to social protection. Empirical
examination of the promotive and protective social protection
programmes (employment guarantee scheme and income maintenance
programme) of rural India reveals that both eligibility and
entitlement to 'welfare rights' are contested within the power
structure of the local communities. Micro-politics within the
household, social groups and communities as well as macro-politics
of the political parties and internationalism interface each other
in the politics of social protection. This is unraveled by
examining the network of poor people in the villages of India. The
path-breaking research into the multilayered politics of state,
market, civil society and households, through innovative
methodologies, shows how competing interests in the society shape
the public policies.
