This is a very interesting subject of research. There are some interesting papers published on CIRIEC, specially on the Social Economy front. I would review authors such as Monzon or Rafael Chaves-Avila .

Thank you, David. I am particularly interested in developing countries, while the authors you suggest probably focus on high income countries. Anyway, it could be useful from a theoretical point of view. Can you point me on some papers in particular/

Perhaps you need a frame more than merely a study. To address social cohesion, we must consider the state. In doing so, we draw in the market. So, consider looking at a dynamical system of the three (state, market and society). Then, tease out social effects in that system. Cf. Preprint Public-Private Partnerships on the Limit Cycle: Excitation o...

Fred, thank you, but I am not sure where social protection schemes play a role. If you are able to suggest me some research which provided a dynamic framework where the interrelation among the state, market and society are examined and the specific role of social protection schemes for social cohesion highlighted, that would be highly welcome!

Franceco, CIRIEC focuses on Social Economy, and it is true that the authors I mentioned mostly focus on the Spanish situation, but, even though I can't cite from the top of my head any specific articles, I would highly recommend for you to take a plunge into this resource. The journal is open source, and well indexed, and has authors that have worked on Latin-american cases. http://www.ciriec-revistaeconomia.es/

check this out for examples. mostly in the grey literature; your empirical investigation and analysis will surely be seminal if you pursue it. I've been mulling over the topic since i did a stocktake on sp policies. it's in my to-do list.

You can also check Ana Sojo's work about this specific matter.

Thank you, Maria Cristina Bautista I knew this paper, it is one of the few attempts to understand the linkaged from a conceptual point of view.

Thank you Marcela Escobar this is very useful. I had a quick look at the profile, and it seems an almost perfect fit. Are you aware on any specific work on that?

Here you have some papers (in Spanish) that could help:

Thank you, very interesting!

I have previously worked on the attitudes of beggers and the public towards the introduction of Social Development Fund of Ethiopia (SDFD) - sort of a public based social protection program intended to fight street begging in Ethiopia. If that is the kind of study you are looking for.

Hi Kulasabanathan Romeshun , yes I have seen it. it is interesting but focuses much more on basic social services than social protection.

Hi Francesco, maybe you could find something useful in the Oxfam reports as well: https://www.oxfam.org/en/research/commitment-reducing-inequality-index

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG, In some of my scientific publications I described the results of research in the field of economic and sociological sciences regarding the issue of social programs conducted as part of development-oriented, interventionist economic policy, including social and sociological aspects. I study the issues of social programs conducted as part of development-oriented, interventionist economic policy on the example of the Family 500 Plus Program and the Flat Plus Program (Mieszkanie Plus Program) conducted in my country for over 3 years. These programs are currently the key instruments of interventionist, pro-development, anti-crisis socio-economic policy, whose current goals are to improve the financial, material and housing situation of citizens as well as to stimulate consumption, economic activity and economic growth. In addition, macroeconomically strategic and investment goals include stopping the fast-progressing process unfavorable to society, the economy, the social security system, i.e. the process of changing the demographic structure of society consisting of aging of the society. If the aging process of the society is not stopped by effectively conducted social and socio-economic policy, then in the near future, perhaps in 10-20 years, public goods delivery systems and social security systems financed from public finance funds, including a social security system, participatory the pension system, public health care system, etc. will be more and more scarce each year. In such a situation, when implementing a negative scenario in the future, these social security and public goods delivery systems will absorb increasing amounts of subsidies from the state budget, and eventually the public finance system will declare bankruptcy or will be reduced to a level that will not provide citizens with well-being at present level. The risk of this negative scenario is increasing because the aging of the population is progressing and public debt of state finances is increasing in many countries. To avoid this negative scenario, interventionist, investment, pro-development and Keynesian socio-economic policy programs are being developed. I described examples of this type of social and socio-economic programs in my scientific publications. For many years I have been researching this issue and I have described this important issue for the economic development of the country in the scope of economic development interventionist policy which I described on the example of the Family 500 Plus Program and the Flat Plus Program (Mieszkanie Plus Program) conducted for over 3 years in my country. In addition, in my research I took into account sociological issues, the social costs of a negative, rapidly progressing process of changing the demographic structure of society, i.e. the aging of the society, and the positive effects of development-friendly programs that improve the economic, material, housing and thus the social, cultural, etc. of the citizens. The conclusions of the research I published in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate portal. I invite you to cooperation.

Best wishes
