Why do LICs introduce social pensions?
Capacity constraints limit the range of available transfer instruments
Smaller budgets than alternatives (e.g. a child transfer)
Straightforward to estimate future liabilities (sustainability, graduation)
Easier to prevent escalation re electoral cycle (sustainability)

Social pensions have assured (strong?) political feedback
Demographics and the franchise
Limited disincentive effects – especially given growth policy focus
Managing the adverse consequences of growth (e.g. on informal protection?)
Other: HIV/Aids?
Social pensions: a platform for the expansion of social protection or a self-standing instrument?
