Resumen
Descripción
This report reviews Sri Lanka's
social protection programs and proposes strategic options
for enhancing their role in promoting growth with equity.
Well designed social protection (SP) systems can help
address poverty and inequality through redistribution, and
mitigate risks and facilitate employment opportunities, thus
contributing to both growth and equity goals. The report
first identifies the poor and vulnerable (chapter 1) and
then reviews and evaluates employment protection and
promotion policies and programs (chapter 2), social
security/insurance schemes (chapter 3), and safety net
programs (chapter 4) and proposes policy options The
concluding chapter summarizes key analytical findings and
presents a unified policy framework to improve social
protection. The report relies mainly on extensive existing
literature from Sri Lankan and international researchers.
The remaining part of this section summarizes the main
issues and policy options.
