This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social security is a basic human right and a fundamental means for creating social cohesion; it is important not only for the well-being of workers, but also for their families and other community members at large. An indispensable part of government social policy, social security is an important tool to alleviate poverty and if well managed can enhance productivity by providing income security and social services. Through a growing economy and active labour market policies, social security serves as an instrument for sustainable social and economic development. Whereas social security is a cost for formal organizations, it is also a future investment for the well-being of the people. With globalization and structural adjustment policies, social security becomes more necessary today than ever. Social Security Challenges in Tanzania: Transforming the Present - Protecting the Future includes a comprehensive overview of social security perspectives at both the international and regional level. The text focuses specifically on Tanzania, analyzing in detail the policy and legal frameworks for social security provision. Engaging and authoritative, it is an essential text for those interested in the evolution, current challenges, and opportunities in addressing the needs of Tanzanians through social security provisions.
Book Synopsis Social Security Law and Policy Reform in Tanzania by : Tulia Ackson
Download or read book Social Security Law and Policy Reform in Tanzania written by Tulia Ackson and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a study of Tanzanian social security law. The study starts from the premise that current social security law in Tanzania is inadequate to protect the citizenry and needs to be reformed. This need is based on the fact that the Tanzanian government has both national and international obligations to guarantee people's social protection. The study uses the South African experience of social security issues to reflect on the problems facing Tanzania. The identified lessons will be used to inform the legal reform endeavours in Tanzania. The book addresses issues such as low coverage of the population, risks and benefits, inadequacy of benefits, lack of portability of social security benefits, bad governance and the problem of fragmentation. On account of these issues, it is suggested that there is need to embrace the comprehensive social security concept on which, South Africa' constitutionalisation of social security rights offers fine lessons for Tanzania. Further, the book advances the linkages between adoption of the comprehensive social security concept and constitutionalisation of socio-economic rights and how these two can help in solving the issues under consideration.
Book Synopsis Social Protection and Informal Workers in Sub-Saharan Africa by : Lone Riisgaard
Download or read book Social Protection and Informal Workers in Sub-Saharan Africa written by Lone Riisgaard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-24 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The promotion of social protection in Sub-Saharan Africa happens in a context where informal labour markets constitute the norm, and where most workers live uncertain livelihoods with very limited access to official social protection. The dominant social protection agenda and the associated literature come with an almost exclusive focus on donor and state programmes even if their coverage is limited to small parts of the populations – and in no way stands measure to the needs. In these circumstances, people depend on other means of protection and cushioning against risks and vulnerabilities including different forms of collective self-organizing providing alternative forms of social protection. These informal, bottom-up forms of social protection are at a nascent stage of social protection discussions and little is known about the extent or models of these informal mechanisms. This book seeks to fill this gap by focusing on three important sectors of informal work, namely: transport, construction, and micro-trade in Kenya and Tanzania. It explores how the global social protection agenda interacts with informal contexts and how it fits with the actual realities of the informal workers. Consequently, the authors examine and compare the social protection models conceptualized and implemented ‘from above’ by the public authorities in Tanzania and Kenya with social protection mechanisms ‘from below’ by the informal workers own collective associations. The book will be of interest to academics in International Development Studies, Political Economy, and African Studies, as well as development practitioners and policy communities.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract. Tanzania is currently experiencing the rapid increase of the proportion of older people in its population. It is not yet an ageing populous country but the proportions of its ageing population is fast growing towards the direction of the most ageing populous countries of Sub-Saharan Africa such as Mauritius, Seychelles, South Africa and Botswana. In the next twenty years the proportions of older people in Tanzanian will grow from 5.5 percent to 7 percent. Older people in rural areas especially are ageing in the midst of complex social and economic problems, which seriously affect their wellbeing. The main challenges which affect them are related to income security, generalized poverty, dwindling traditional support systems, health and social exclusion. In spite of these challenges, many older people in Tanzania still play a critical role in economic life and in provision of social services such as care of orphaned grandchildren. Problems related to livelihood of older people in Tanzania present key challenges to the government to develop social policies which can adequately address social protection needs of present and future older generations. The complexity of ageing in rural areas also points to the vital need to engage in research on intergenerational relations in order to inform policy development as well as to enable the government to apportion generous old age entitlements in the form of social pension to deserving older persons. This study is a response to the above mentioned need by focusing on the efficacy of social pensions on intergenerational family solidarity. Much research work on ageing and social pensions in Tanzania has focused on overcoming poverty, vulnerability and elder abuse. Yet the issue of relationship between social pension and intergenerational family solidarity has remained mostly untouched. This study responds to this issue by addressing the questions: How will family solidarity be affected by the introduction of universal social pensions? Can different patterns of welfare affect intergenerational relations? How does intergenerational solidarity exist today? What do older people expect to happen in case social pensions are introduced? And what might be the outcomes of social pensions for future development of Tanzania? To respond to these questions, a single point in time cross-sectional survey method was used to collect data (n=968) from research participants aged 60 years and above in two districts of Mwanza region. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews from individual participants. Descriptive statistics, mainly frequencies and simple cross tabulation were conducted on both univariate and bivariate variables to describe the data. The key findings indicates that both older males and females are characterized by high levels of informality - older females in particular being more affected than older males. Older females are widowed that old males who can relatively maintain stable marital partnerships into old age. These social inequalities in education and marital status affect older people's capacity to reciprocate and give social support. It is also found that the extended family system is the prevalent family model in which older people live. Families are fairly large and co-residence is very high with adult children and grandchildren. Co-residence is a strong sign of intergenerational solidarity and family support. A family member exhibits strong association in the form of the frequency of contacts and also maintains social support exchanges - particularly instrumental support. In spite of the support offered in the family, older people are expecting state cash transfers in the form of universal social pension to support them with many aspects of their livelihood: daily needs, health needs, and family cohesion. This aspiration for the state intervention on the support of older people is probably the indication that older people have recognized the reduced support from their families. In addition, as Tanzania is heading towards the decline of birth rates, these changes points to the possibilities of further decline of the functions of extended family systems in the near future. Therefore, public pension in the form of universal social pension is expected to boost welfare of older people by crowding-in the functions of the extended family. Therefore, these findings prompts us to speculate that cash transfers in the form of old age social pension is probably the relevant approach not only for old age welfare in family meeting broader national developmental objectives in Tanzania solidarity but also for meeting broader national developmental objectives in Tanzania by promoting economic growth, health, rural development, reducing income poverty and social inequalities, strengthening communitybased care, and increasing social contract between citizens and their government.

This book was released on 2019-04-24 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The potential role of social protection in the development process has received heightened recognition in recent years, yet making a strong investment case for social protection remains particularly challenging in many emerging and developing countries. This report challenges us to think deeply about the economic rationale for social protection investments through an inclusive development lens. It helps us understand the links between social protection, growth and inequality; how to measure those links empirically; social protection’s impact on inclusive growth; and how to build a more solid economic case for greater social protection investments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report offers an in-depth overview of the important, and sometimes controversial, issues surrounding social security in a global context: its relationship to employment and development, its extension in terms of personal coverage, and its contribution to gender equality, as well as its financing. Consisting of resolutions and conclusions drawn from the International Labour Conference, 89th Session, 2001, this book contains the report to the conference - prepared for the general discussion on social security and sets out the key topics and priorities for providing and managing social security systems. Global trends in social security expenditure are covered, as the report addresses such pivotal questions as: Is social security facing an ageing crisis? Is it facing a globalization crisis? Has it reached its limits in terms of affordability? The concept of social dialogue, and its part in strengthening and expanding social security, is also discussed and the report considers how family and local solidarity networks, institutions, enterprises, governments and the international community can help enhance the effectiveness of social security.

Book Synopsis Social Protection in Africa by : Frank Ellis
Download or read book Social Protection in Africa written by Frank Ellis and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This timely book makes accessible to a broad audience the ideas, principles and practicalities of establishing effective social protection in Africa. It focuses on the major shift in strategy for tackling hunger and vulnerability, from emergency responses mainly in the form of food transfers to predictable cash transfers to the chronically poorest social groups. The first part of the book comprises nine theme chapters, covering vulnerability, targeting, delivery, coordination, cost-effectiveness, market impacts, and asset effects, while the second part consists of fifteen social protection case studies. The continuous interplay between these two parts makes for a unique contribution to the contemporary literature on social protection. The book takes a positive and forward looking view regarding the feasibility of achieving successful social transfers to the poorest in Africa; nevertheless, a critical stance is taken where appropriate, and unresolved strategic issues regarding the targeting, coverage and scale of social transfers are highlighted. Social Protection in Africa is an essential read for personnel, advisors and consultants working for aid donors, United Nations agencies, NGOs and governments on social transfer programmes in sub-Saharan African countries. In addition, the book represents a valuable resource for training courses on social protection, and will be vital reading for Masters level students and researchers studying emergency relief, social protection, vulnerability and poverty reduction in low-income countries.
