Introduction socialprotection.org emerged in 2015 as a response to demands from global policymakers for a platform that would gather the most comprehensive and up-to-date content on social protection, while promoting networking and exchange. Over the past four years of activities, socialprotection.org has achieved great progress in sharing knowledge and promoting capacity-building on the topic, with constantly-improving features and sustained growth in members and collaborating stakeholders. The international community came together in 2019 to celebrate the year of social protection, with the topic being addressed at leading international events, including: Together to achieve Universal Social Protection by 2030; the 57th Session of the United Nations Commission for Social Development; the 63rd Session of the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women; Asia Pacific Social Protection Week 2019; and the ILO’s 100th anniversary celebrations. The recognition of the platform as an important tool for social protection resulted in substantial growth and consolidation of its role in the field over the year. Today, we are a thriving worldwide community of almost 4,500 practitioners. Since its launch, the platform has directed access to almost 5,000 publications; organised 95 webinars and nine livestreams in cooperation with several partners; hosted eight e-courses and now hosts over 40 online communities. During its first years, the focus of the platform was in expanding our reach and growing in members, publications, and stakeholders. Following this evolution, the focus now is on improving and consolidating our features and services, while keeping our audience updated on the most relevant discussions around social protection. In 2019, we launched a new interface to facilitate user-friendly navigation, enhanced existing features, and created a Social Space to foster networking and exchange. socialprotection.org’s main objective is to become integrated into the routines of policymakers, practitioners and government officials, encouraging dialogue and providing a solid, evidence-based foundation for policy design and implementation. In this report, we present the platform’s results from September 2018 through August 2019, as well as comparisons against previous years. Future developments and potential challenges are also highlighted, considering the way forward for the platform. We hope our efforts make socialprotection.org even more meaningful in the coming years—and we look forward to keeping you on board!

B. Arreridj, Algeria Received: 04/12/2018 ; Revised: 05/12/2018 ; Accepted: 10/12/2018 Summary: The objective of the study is to analyze and measure the impact of distribution policies on poverty rates in Algeria during the period 2000-2016. Therefore, the study included a number of variables: average wages, housing support, support for families, support for the Moudjahidine and pensioners, support for the disabled, health support and consumption. The study showed that the variables of average wages and support for the disabled are the most important determinants of poverty. When we find that support for families, support for Mujahideen and pensioners and the consumer price, are less specific to poverty rates. key words: Poverty, Public Distribution Policy, Social Transfers, Average Wages, CPI. Jel Classification Codes: C52,I38, P36. I- Introduction: The phenomenon of poverty is no longer a static phenomenon, as it was in the past, but it has become a moving event that is constantly changing, especially under international circumstances characterized by globalization. This phenomenon is hampering the development process and has a great impact on its economic and social aspects. The aggravation of this phenomenon is due to several reasons that are a strong driver for the continuation and of this phenomenon and have implications on the economic development. In this sense, states seek to eradicate this phenomenon, and Algeria, like other countries, has adopted multifaceted policies and levels in the face of the phenomenon of poverty, and this since independence to this day.

  • Political Cleavages and Social Inequalities in Algeria, Iraq, and Turkey, 1990-2019
    World Inequality Lab – Working Paper N° 2021/12 Political Cleavages and Social Inequalities in Algeria, Iraq, and Turkey, 1990-2019 Lydia Assouad Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty Juliet-Nil Uraz March 2021 Political Cleavages and Social Inequalities in Algeria, Iraq, and Turkey, 1990-20191 Lydia Assouad Amory Gethin Thomas Piketty Juliet-Nil Uraz2 Abstract This paper draws on political attitudes surveys to document the evolution of political cleavages in light of inequality dynamics in Algeria (2002-2018), Iraq (2005-2018), and Turkey (1991-2018). We investigate how social divides and ethno-religious conflicts shape voting behaviors in these three countries through their interaction with the voting system and the structure of inequalities. Our findings suggest that identity-based voting remains highly interconnected with social disparities and does not offer extensive explanatory power on its own, except in the extreme case of the Iraqi sectarian political system. Socioeconomic factors play a differentiated role depending on the historical and institutional context and have increasingly been at the heart of popular mobilizations outside of the electoral arena. 1 We are grateful to Ishac Diwan, Dalia Ghanem and Clara Martínez-Toledano for their useful advices. 2 Lydia Assouad, Amory Gethin, Thomas Piketty: Paris School of Economics – World Inequality Lab. Juliet-Nil Uraz: European University Institute. Introduction Shaken by civil wars, interstate conflicts and intifada for several decades, the Middle East and Northern Africa (MENA) region seems to find its unity around the predominance of violence. To explain such a political turmoil, a common view consists in reducing all conflicts in the region to their ethno-religious dimension.

  • Policy Brief Education Deprivation in the Arab States
    Policy Brief Education Deprivation in the Arab States Policy Brief Education Deprivation in the Arab States Cover photo: Syrian School children at Al Shyah second intermediate public school Beirut, Lebanon ©UNICEF/2017/MENA/RICH 4 Policy Brief: Education Deprivation in the Arab States Key Points • While overall education and information deprivation in the countries studied shows modest levels of incidence, there is pronounced inequality in the education dimension both between and within the 11 Arab States examined. Children who live in countries with higher overall levels of poverty are more likely to face deprivation in education. Within countries, wealth status, the educational attainment of the head of household and geographical location are main contributors to inequality in the education and information dimensions. • For the vast majority of children who face deprivation in education, retention and the quality of education are the major issues. Still, a significant percentage of children is out of school altogether and face issues with access to education. • The evidence shows that poor access to quality education is an engine of intergenerational poverty transmission. Children living in households whose head has incomplete primary education are significantly more likely to be multidimensionally poor and to be deprived in the education and information dimensions. Introduction This policy brief summarizes key findings and recommendations relating to education from the report, ‘Child Poverty in the Arab States’.i The report examined multidimensional child poverty in Algeria, Comoros, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Mauritania, Morocco, Palestine, Sudan, Tunisia and Yemen. Education deprivation stood out as a key issue for children in the region and as a major contributor to the incidence of childhood poverty.

  • Poverty Trends in Algeria
    Introduction Following the collapse of the growth around the mid-eighties, poverty is becoming an acute problem in Algeria. The actual heated debate in the Algerian newspapers on the extent of poverty reflects the public conscience vis a vis the problem of poverty1 propagation. This was ignited by the oil price decline of 1986 in international markets, and political turmoil and instability further complicated the problem since the nineties. However, no serious attempts were made to quantify this phenomenon and address a detailed poverty profile for Algeria2. Given the widespread decline of the welfare of the population, there is an urgent need to map out poverty in order to better address this phenomenon and provide valuable information to policy makers. This paper attempts to build a detailed poverty profile for Algeria and study its dynamic between 1966 and 1995. The framework used in this poverty assessment will enable to evaluate poverty levels for non-survey years using only available data on aggregate per capita consumption and inflation, assuming a certain level of income distribution. Poverty is deeply rooted in the Algerian society since the days of colonialism. The post independence development efforts helped improve the welfare of the population. The massive increase of oil windfalls and the extensive foreign borrowing meant that an egalitarian socialist program of development and generous social policy was implemented quite easily, though not sustainable in the long run as demonstrated by recent experience. The approach of bureaucratic central planning economy planted the seeds of today’s economic problems. Early development planning focused on heavy industrialisation and direct control of the economy.

  • Financial Deepening, Property Rights, and Poverty: Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa
    • Journal of Banking and Financial Economics 1(3)2015, 130–151 130 Financial Deepening, Property Rights, and Poverty: Evidence from Sub-Saharan Africa Raju Jan Singh1 The World Bank, United States [email protected] Yifei Huang GMO, United States [email protected] Received: 19 January 2015 / Revised: 14 April 2015 / Accepted: 17 April 2015 / Published online: 19 May 2015 ABSTRACT Recent studies on the relationship between financial development and poverty have been inconclusive. Some claim that, by allowing more entrepreneurs to obtain financing, financial development improves the allocation of capital, which has a particularly large impact on the poor. Others argue that it is primarily the rich and politically connected who benefit from improvements in the financial system. This paper looks at a sample of 37 countries in sub-Saharan Africa from 1992 through 2006. Its results suggest that financial deepening could widen income inequality and increase poverty, if not accompanied by stronger property rights. Similarly, interest rate and lending liberalization alone could be detrimental to the poor without institutional reforms, in particular stronger property rights and wider access to credit information. JEL classification: O11, O16, G00 Keywords: financial development, poverty alleviation, income distribution,Africa I. INTRODUCTION While financial development and its effects on economic growth have attracted considerable attention in the literature, far less work has been done on the relationship between financial deepening and poverty. Theory provides conflicting predictions. Empirically, the results have been equally mixed. Yet, lack of access to finance has been argued to be one of the main factors behind persistent poverty and, more generally, the 2008 financial crisis has triggered renewed questioning on the benefits of financial development.2 1 Corresponding author: The World Bank, 1850 I Street NW, Washington, DC 20433, United States; email [email protected].

Algeria. Received 2 February, 2020; Accepted 11 September, 2020 This study was conducted to assess dietary diversity of Algerian urban poor household with household dietary diversity (HDDS) and to study its relationship with nutrient adequacy level and socio- demographic factors. A survey was followed by three 24 h dietary recalls during one year, with household’s members of charity in Constantine. Qualitative method has been realised using household dietary diversity score and quantitative method was done by calculating ratio of caloric and nutritional intakes to household needs. The study showed that the mean HDDS was 6.8±0.7 food groups. Animal proteins percentage, caloric adequacy level and adequacy levels of fourteen vitamins and minerals had positive correlation with HDDS. Household with less than six persons and those with children less than five years had a higher HDDS (p<0.035 and p<0.0001, respectively).

  • Facing the Challenge of the Statistical Measure of Population
    Working paper 28 10 April 2015 UNITED NATIONS ECONOMIC COMMISSION FOR EUROPE CONFERENCE OF EUROPEAN STATISTICIANS Seminar on poverty measurement 5-6 May 2015, Geneva, Switzerland Session D: Subjective Poverty Subjective Poverty and its Determinants: an Empirical approach to the Colombian case Prepared by the Los Andes University, Colombia1 Abstract Colombia has little knowledge about individual welfare perception. Willing to change this fact, this paper aims to study poverty in Colombia from a holistic perspective. By taking three different measurement approaches on poverty using the National Survey of Life’s Quality (ENCV-2013). The first approach studies the main social and economic variables that determine subjective poverty by using probit modeling, the second measures poverty through the economic scale of households by multinomial logit modeling and, thirdly, analyzes the indirect effect of timing has on the subjective poverty measure, furthermore, studies how the change on welfare today compared to five years ago affects the perception of poverty. The results indicate that the first and second approach has as main variables which explain subjective poverty, the lack of: income; household ownership; appliances ownership such as: stove, water heating system and washing machine; educational level, living in urban zone, health conditions and employment. The third result shows that homes who perceived themselves as in equal or worse conditions compared to five years ago have a greater probability of being under subjective poverty. Moreover, low socio-economical levels of population weight income as more important to perceive themselves as poor than wealthier socio-economical levels. Keywords: poverty measurements, subjective poverty, Colombia, income inequality, living conditions, multidimensional poverty.
