The two lives of social protection: the tale of cash transfers and social security

Why does one type of social protection gets (almost) all the attention while the other is shunned?

A interesting article by   of Development Pathways I'd like to share, because it not only provides some insight in the logics (the political economy) of traditional development cooperation, but als a good summary of arguments for rights based, universal and life cycle social security systems.
