The term ‘social security’ has a very different meaning in underdeveloped countries and is best understood as poverty alleviation. This book attempts to define social security in the Third World and to examine what sorts of programmes are most suitable for developing countries. It reviews current literature on the subject. Some chapters explore broad themes; others describe social security provisions in various regions in India, China, Latin America, and Southern Africa. Western systems are compared and broad assessments made of the traditional social security systems in Third World village societies. The book aims to put the subject of social security firmly on the agenda of development economic research with a view to stimulate much further research in this area.
