Examines and compares the state of art of conventional social security systems in six Asian countries: Sri Lanka, India, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia and the Philippines, as well as countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, and explains why they have failed to reach most of the poor. Identifies shortcomings of conventional social security institutions and reviews the role of non-conventional forms of social security protection such as poverty -orientated State policies and development-orientated activities of NGOs.
