Summary (English)

The large majority of workers in developing countries are excluded from social security protection. This book examines this problem in Benin, China, El Salvador, India and the United Republic of Tanzania, and explores ways in which governments and organizations at national and local levels can work together to bring social security protection to all. Through a series of case studies, this volume reviews various approaches to the establishment of self-financed schemes, the extension of formal sector social insurance and the improvement of social assistance schemes, highlighting those that have been most successful.
