| Annotation | This report makes a strong case for providing universal non-contributory pensions - "social pensions" - to older people in developing countries. It describes how social pensions effectively target aid, reducing the poverty of older people and the families they so often support. Evidence is presented from poor older women and men who claim pensions, and from research into the impact of social pensions on old age and childhood poverty. Issues of affordability and feasibility of social pensions in the developing world are explored, and an agenda for future action is set out. (KJ/RH). |
