ABSTRACT

This study examines whether social protection and decent work are linked to pro-poor growth in low and lower middle income economies. It does so by finding the existing linkages between Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) dependent variable and 10 indicators of social protection and decent work, as well as one indicator of economic performance. The concept of pro-poor growth is at the center of the study. Throughout the study, I understand pro-poor growth as economic growth that benefits the poor. Countries that have seen simultaneous economic growth and poverty reduction are then understood as pro-poor growth countries in this study.

My research questions are: 1. Which social protection/decent work indicators are statistically linked to pro-poor growth among low and lower middle income economies and are these links positive or negative? 2. Based on these linkages, could pro-poor growth potentially be promoted by social protection and decent work in low and lower middle income economies?

Research method used in this study is stepwise (linear) regression. The regression sample consists of 50 pro-poor growth low and lower middle income economies. By using this method, a total of four independent variables are found to be linked to MPI variable: Working poor, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, Remittance inflows and Employment to population ratio, implying that social protection and decent work are linked to pro-poor growth in low and lower middle income economies. The theoretical framework of the study combines development economics and social sciences related to growth, poverty and inequalities, as well as to global social policies and work in low and lower middle income economies. My approach to these topics is macrosociological as I examine these topics from the perspective of human social structures, rather than in macro- or microeconomic terms, and because I examine low and lower middle income societies and populations on a large scale.
