Spending on Social Safety Nets:

Comparative Data compiled from World Bank Analytic WorkThe spending estimates presented here reflect the compilation of country-specific spending numbers reported inWorld Bank Analytical Work. The estimates in no way reflect the official position of the World Bank, its ExecutiveDirectors, or the countries they represent. As discussed in further detail below, these numbers are only estimates andare subject to a number of caveats. A complete list of the data and its sources can be found on the worksheet titled"DATA".

This spreadsheet presents the estimates of spending on social safety nets and social protection more broadly from 75 countrie sbased on World Bank reports that tried to compile comprehensive country-specific numbers on the subject. Details of themethods used to find pertinent reports and interpret the data are given in Box 1 below. In addition, this file contains a number ofgraphs generated using this data as well as data on health and education expenditures and GDP/capita PPP*.

This compilation suffers from two main flaws, incomplete coverage and problems ofcomparability.

Incomplete coverage: We have been able to find data between the years of 1996 and 2006 that we are comfortablepresenting for 87 countries. Coverage is variable by region. It is pretty good in ECA with 25 of 29 countries covered (and 96%of the population in the region covered). But it is much worse in Africa, with 9 of 47 of the countries covered (and 18% of thepopulation in the region covered.). The countries we have data for are those where for some reason safety nets are prominentin the policy arena. How much and in which direction this biases the results is unclear. In some places the reason forprominence in policy dialogue is the fiscal need to reduce spending on social protection, in others it is because of a felt n eed toincrease it.

Comparability: Because the compilations were done by authors almost as numerous as the number of countries covered, theprecise definition of what to include in the safety net differed. We report the composites largely as they occur in the repo rts,trusting the judgment of the authors of the individual reports to include what was pertinent and manageable to find in any gi vencountry.
