This chapter analyses models of social protection. The author (Matthieu Clément) first discusses several recent programmes and proceeds by implementing Esping-Andersen’s analytical framework accounting for the plurality of social protection logics and actors. He finds that the two main dimensions that help differentiate social protection types across countries are the extent of decommodification and the extent of informal social protection. Four models of social protection are identified. Although China, India or Brazil, together with Latin American reformers, all fall into the USA-like liberal type, the other emerging countries fall into the social insecurity model, with migrant remittances playing a key role in bolstering family income in the country of origin. The last two models, which are specific to developing economies, are described in detail.< Leer menos
