The Household Economy and Social Security Policy: With Particular Reference to Africa South of the Sahara
Abstract
Within the last few years a number of articles and other studies have been published dealing with various aspects of Social Security in developing countries in general and with Africa in particular. The intention of this article is to set out an analytical framework within which Social Security policy in developing countries, especially as related to income maintenance, might be appraised. Particular attention will be given to the inter‐relationship between state Social Security policy and household economic behaviour, since this aspect appears to be the least well covered in the literature.
