Armando Barrientos
2010
Abstract
The presentation will note the rapid development of social protection in developing countries, and consider its diversity and dynamics. It will argue that the growth of social protection in the South has been influenced by newapproaches to poverty and poverty reduction that emphasise multidimensionality and especially duration. The main challenges ahead will be considered next, especially those relating to financing, institutionalisation, and scale. Finally, the presentation will speculate on the future for social protection in developing countries.
