Extending the coverage of social security pensions
The paper discusses new strategies to provide old age security in Africa. There is a high incidence of old age poverty in Africa, especially among low income countries in the region. In addition, demographic, social, and economic transformations are responsible for changes in the patterns of vulnerability associated with old age, and for changes in the sources of protection. Demographic change and economic transformation have undermined the effectiveness of traditional forms of protection. The impact of HIV/AIDS and migration underline the important role and responsibilities of older people in their households and communities.
