ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Provides an historical overview of care and social policy in Africa and describes the development challenges of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Examines the support available to workers in the formal and informal sectors and looks at the potential of community-based insurance mechanisms. Reviews and suggests a number of responses, not only to HIV/AIDS itself but to broader social protection needs.
