Social Security Schemes, Social Protection Policies, Poverty Alleviation, Economic WelfareAbstract
This systematic literature review explores the impact of social security schemes, social protection policies, and poverty alleviation initiatives on economic welfare and policy outcomes. Peer-reviewed research on the function of social security and protection systems in promoting equality, social inclusion, and poverty alleviation is compiled in this review. The English-language articles that were chosen for inclusion concentrated on empirical evaluations of economic welfare, legislative frameworks, and the efficacy of different social safety programs. This review adds significantly to policy analysis and social welfare theory by analyzing a variety of international studies and highlighting important insights into the planning, execution, and difficulties of social security and protection programs. With implications for future policy reforms aimed at poverty alleviation and social empowerment, the findings highlight the significance of targeted, context-specific initiatives to improve the sustainability and inclusivity of social protection systems.
