Evidence Review: Social Protection in the Pacific and Timor-Leste

This review provides an overview of the available evidence on social protection in the Pacific and Timor-Leste. It is the first study of its kind, highlighting the latest evidence, key voices, information gaps, and future research opportunities.

Inclusive social protection

What can be done to improve social protection for people with disabilities in the Pacific? P4SP’s recent study on Financing Social Protection in the Pacific and Timor-Leste looks at government investment in the region and explores how some disadvantaged groups are being protected.

Our blog by Charles Knox-Vydmanov and Alexandre Cote discusses how Pacific Island countries are working to create social protection systems that are inclusive of people with disabilities

Protecting Women’s Futures

How can universal old age pensions promote greater gender equality? And what can we learn from the Pacific’s approach to social protection for older people? In recent decades, several countries across the Pacific and Timor-Leste have established government-financed universal old age pensions. In doing so, they are making important progress towards offsetting some of the lifelong impacts of gender inequality on women’s economic security.

Disability-inclusive social protection

Social protection programs and systems that understand the unique barriers faced by persons with disabilities, and are designed and resourced to address these barriers, can ensure the full and meaningful participation of persons with disabilities. Read more about how this can be achieved here.
