Risk Management Strategies

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to explore social risk management strategies amongst Fulani in the subhumid zone of Nigeria; and second, to determine current status and nature of reciprocal exchange networks, risk pooling and social support for pastoral livelihoods in North-Central Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach Surveys of cattle productivity and pastoral livelihoods were carried out amongst Fulani pastoralists on the Jos Plateau: between 2008 and 2013 using participatory epidemiology methods and the sustainable livelihoods framework. Qualitative and quantitative data on livelihood activities, knowledge, attitudes and practices of animal husbandry and disease control, wealth grouping, herd entries and exits was gathered to determine the current state of cattle productivity and pastoral livelihoods in the study area. Findings Results show that reciprocal exchange networks for risk management have mostly disintegrated and patron-client relationships have become an important social risk management strategy. Practical implications This research has significant implications for sustainability of Fulani livelihoods and communities: decreased social risk-management strategies and increased self-reliance means that the most vulnerable households will find it more difficult to withstand shocks and climb out of poverty. Wealthier households may cope better with high incidence/low severity shocks like but are more vulnerable to low incidence/high severity shocks. Likewise, decreased social cohesion reduces the ability of communities to mobilise and act collectively in the face of community-level shocks. This is very important for engagement with the state – a crucial process, given current levels of acrimony and conflict. Originality/value Given the high levels of farmer-herder conflict and civil unrest in this region over the past 15 years this research is valuable in providing insights into economic drivers of conflict, current dynamics of pastoral livelihoods and social cohesion within and between communities.

Income Insecurity

The growth of solo self-employed workers in the Netherlands (zzp’ers) has not yet triggered a debate on how to combine their income security and business autonomy. The extent to which the social protection system and interest groups promote zzp’ers to take up collective arrangements mitigating income insecurity due to work incapacity and preventing income insecurity due to poor employability is investigated using the social risk management framework. Correcting economic obstacles and irrational risk perceptions, collective arrangements are found to encourage the take-up of work incapacity insurance and training among zzp’ers.

Introduction. Accelerated pace of development of society contributes to the accelerated generation of social risks, modern society is characterized by constant technological, natural, economic, environmental, socio-cultural changes. Therefore, minimizing social risks and leveling their consequences is of paramount importance. Methods. Diagnosis of the state of the social risk management system combined the principles of systemic, structural-functional and targeted analysis, which provided a comprehensive assessment of the whole and individual components. Results. The analysis of expenditures on the social sphere showed their stable absolute growth despite the dynamic reduction of their share in the budget. Social risks are largely due to the non-transparency of the mechanism for regulating the supply and demand of labor in the domestic labor market. A significant share of macroeconomic social risks is related to the problems of social infrastructure, which is financed from the budget. Problems with access to health care, the opacity of the pharmaceutical market, the degradation of the health care network, chronic underfunding, and the lack of health insurance also generate social risks. The task of state policy should be to prevent and prevent social risks, identify social conflicts that lead to destructive consequences. Systematization of social risks allows to methodologically substantiate the mechanisms of social risk management, to modernize the models of social protection of the population, to develop effective tools for ensuring public management of social risks. Discussion. The impossibility of reducing funding for social needs without deteriorating the quality of life and social protection of the population requires further search for alternative sources of funding for socio-cultural expenditures, rationalization in the budget structure to effectively combat the development of social risks. Keywords: social policy, social risks, social transfers, household expenditures, labor market, health care.

Au tournant du millénaire, la protection sociale est devenue une nouvelle priorité pour les pays du Sud et pour les politiques de développement. Cette élévation de la protection sociale au nombre des instruments privilégiés des politiques de développement marque un changement de paradigme fondamental par rapport aux décennies antérieures. La protection sociale a longtemps été considérée comme un instrument peu approprié pour les pays en développement. Toutefois, à la fin des années 1990, le désenchantement vis-à-vis des résultats des programmes d’ajustement économique, la crise asiatique de 1997 de même que la prise de conscience renforcée des effets négatifs de la pauvreté des nations et de la paupérisation des populations ont pour effet de modifier le paradigme dominant. La protection sociale devient un instrument privilégié pour atteindre les Objectifs du millénaire pour le développement. La Banque mondiale élève la protection sociale au rang des instruments principaux des stratégies de réduction de la pauvreté à l’échelon international (« gestion du risque social », social risk management). Le Department for International Development du Royaume-Uni, associé à d’autres organisations, promeut un modèle axé sur les droits des pauvres. Les programmes de protection sociale élaborés dans les pays du Sud, comme les pensions sociales au Brésil et en Afrique du Sud ou les transferts conditionnels en espèces (TCE) au Mexique et au Brésil, deviennent des programmes-modèles au niveau mondial. Cet article vise à analyser l’émergence de la protection sociale dans les politiques de développement. Dans cette perspective, il analyse les différents types de programmes privilégiés par la communauté internationale en s’intéressant plus particulièrement aux programmes de TCE. En conclusion, il cherche à évaluer la pertinence relative des politiques de protection sociale pour les pays en développement.
