Inequality in the Arab Region

Rights Denied, Promises Broken
Social protection systems in the Arab region tackle life?cycle risks and economic shocks that fuel deep inequalities. The report analyzes evolving responses for vulnerable groups—informal workers, women, youth, the elderly, disabled persons and migrants—while outlining actionable policy recommendations.
People living in the Arab region face various forms of inequality, many of them linked to unequal exposure to life-cycle risks. By providing financial protection against these risks, social protection systems can address inequalities. To be fully effective, social protection systems must take into account the particular needs of specific vulnerable groups such as informal workers, women and girls, older and younger people, persons with disabilities and migrants. This fourth edition of the Arab Inequality Report describes how social protection systems in the Arab region have evolved in response to economic developments and external shocks, and examines the varying degrees to which these systems provide effective protection and reduce inequalities. It concludes with practical policy recommendations for countries to ensure that their social protection systems are effective and responsive.
