5 AFRICA IN COMPARATIVE PERSPECTIVE
6 The standard story: Africa is a laggard in terms of social protection, including for the elderly Africa has: the lowest expenditure (in relation to GDP) on either pensions for the elderly (or child benefits) (ILO, World SP Report 2014). 2.8 percent of GDP is spent on social security, compared to a global average of 5.7 percent (World Bank, The Cash Dividend, 2012). The lowest health coverage, in terms of the proportion of the population affiliated to public health system or private insurance schemes: 25% in Africa, compared to 61% globally (ILO, 2014)
7 Two trajectories of welfare state-building Industrialisation protection against risks (inability to perform wage labour) for formally-employed workers (i.e. when they non-workers) Workerist welfare regimes: Germany (and then much of Europe) from late C19th, much of Latin America (especially Argentina, Chile, Brazil) from early C20th; promoted by ILO through most of C20th Agrarian development protection against risks (uncertain prices for agricultural produce, drought) for peasants Agrarian welfare regimes: most of colonial Africa and South Asia (from 1940s) and post-colonial Africa and South Asia Evolving into pauperist welfare regimes, when peasants nonpeasants (i.e. rural/urban poor), in the face of deagrarianisation (= social as well as economic) (borrowing from the British model)
8 Who benefits? Protect nonpeasants (the poor) Protect formally-employed workers when they are non-workers
9 What political responses to what challenges? Protect nonpeasants Semi-democratic response to challenges of pauperism due, in part, to risks associated with agrarianism / deagrarianisation Authoritarian response (corporatism from above) to challenges of incorporating urban workers in the face or risks associated with industrialization Protect non-workers (formerly formallyemployed workers)
10 Chile Argentina Brazil (British) Africa, S.Asia (British) Caribbean / Mauritius Agrarian welfare regimes Industrialisation Deagrarianisation Workerist welfare regimes Pauperist welfare regimes Employment-based welfare regimes Citizenship-based welfare regimes

14 SOCIAL PENSIONS IN AFRICA
15 Social pensions in East/Southern Africa 1920s: South Africa: white and coloured citizens only 1930s: Southern Rhodesia [Zimbabwe]: not African people [Barbados Trinidad & Tobago, British Guyana] 1940s: South Africa: pensions African/Indian people (lower benefits) debated in Southern and Northern Rhodesia [Zambia] 1950: Mauritius c1960: debated in Kenya 1970s: South-West Africa [Namibia] 1990s: Botswana (deracialisation completed in Namibia and South Africa) 2000s: Lesotho Swaziland pilot programmes in various countries 2010s: pilot programmes scaled up in Zambia, Uganda, etc 2016: Zanzibar
16 Common causes: Deagrarianisation What should be done about people unable to support themselves (or be supported by kin) through agricultural production? During drought: many people At all times: some people (without kin? without supportive kin? without land?) Public policy During droughts: Food-for-work programmes; school feeding programmes; food aid for households without working-age adults Institutionalised (e.g. Botswana from 1960s) At all times: Poor Laws (Mauritius, SA, etc) or support for destitutes ( public assistance ): typically discretionary modernised through social old-age pensions etc (= social assistance, for designated vulnerable groups )
17 Deagrarianisation social pensions Shift to social pensions because: Agrarian /peasant option foreclosed: limited or no access to land, or frequent drought Social and economic changes: salience of kinship; labour-constrained households (often because of AIDS); urbanisation rural landlessness Political change: competitive elections; presidential candidates self-branding, imperative of measurable poverty reduction: MDGs, ILO social protection floor, etc
18 Welfare regime types Welfare regime type Workerist Agrarian Pauperist Economy Import- substitution industrialisation Smallholder agriculture Export-oriented nonsmallholder commodity production Social character of working class Foreign immigrant Rural migrant expected to return to peasant society Rural migrant without future as a peasant Risks protected against Employment-related Prices for products Production-related (drought, AIDS, etc) Subaltern politics Urban strikes (and, later, elections) Popular (cross-class), anti-colonialism Hidden forms of resistance (and, later, elections) Elite strategy Corporatist Indirect rule then rapid decolonisation Slow liberal democratisation Discourses and ideology Corporatist (or social democratic) Conservative or liberal Liberal or new liberal
19 Why is social assistance expanding in contemporary Africa? Characteristics of Citizenship-based Welfare Regimes in the 2000s Economy Social character of working class Risks protected against Subaltern politics Elite strategy Discourses and ideology Export-oriented; few protected sectors; rural landlessness Permanent migrants (deagrarian) from countryside (and emergence in some areas of a rural working class of landless labourers) Drought; death of working-age adults; old-age Voting (but NB character of elections); occasional, muted direct action; weak civil society Placate voters; sometimes appease donors Mix of liberal, neoliberal, conservative Weak social democratic influence
