Year: 2018
Type: article
Abstract: Cape Verde, a small country of 500,000 inhabitants, composed of several islands, and long considered extremely poor, is one of the countries that demographically stands out in Africa with a relatively high life expectancy and a low fertility rate. It is also among the most advanced in terms of the development of social protection in Africa. In addition to existing social insurance for employees in the civil service and the formal private sector, social pensions were introduced in 2007 for elderly people not covered by this contributory system, explicitly aiming at universalizing old-age coverage. This article proposes to trace the genesis, the setting up, and the stakes of this new pension for the elderly. Although it is small in size, it has rapidly affected almost half of the population aged 60 and over and is geared towards health coverage, which makes it an interesting and valued experience for the government and the ILO. This article also aims at contributing to present thinking on the current development of non-contributory and so-called universal social protection schemes in some Southern countries.
