Highlights
The meaning of „social security‟ varies country wise and is considered a part of the total institutional pattern of the nation in which it exists and is in conformity with it
The Brazilian ruling technocratic class during that period was heavily influenced by the reforms undertaken by the international organisations like the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and the Beveridge Report in England and had its underpinnings on its social security policies
Social protection policies are built on historical forms of political consensus which are constantly being negotiated between various groups to respond to questions like: Who should and how should they be protected? And how much protection they should receive? there is a need for a contexualised understanding of the realities faced by various groups in a country and to strategise policies in response to permanent and temporary shocks and vulnerabilities
Summary
The meaning of „social security‟ varies country wise and is considered a part of the total institutional pattern of the nation in which it exists and is in conformity with it. The policies and programmes under Zero Hunger are articulated under four major axes: access to food, family farming promotion, income generation, and social accountability and mobilisation
